Rob McKee Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Paint has been laid down tonight. 4 coats of color and 2 coats of clear. Many other parts have also been painted and now will dry over night. Thank goodness for Tamiya paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr.camaro Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Jonathan it is the revell kit and I noticed something looks off too. The spoiler takes away from the fault so I'm not worried though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob McKee Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Hi Jonathan, The paint is Tamiya Italian Red on top of Tamiya white primer. Many say Tamiya is over priced but I would disagree. With the proper prep and primer I have yet to be let down. I also laid down two coats of clear tonight. Tomorrow I'll polish and clear again. Then decal.

hotrod59f100 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Well I had to loose the chev luv but I found another. My ford courier My Toyota celica And finish my 1/32 Datsun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Rob, I agree that its great paint, but I seem to or can get just as good results from model master lacquers , if I had a LHS that wasnt 30mins away I would most likely use Tamiya paints more. I think the next ferrari kit I build I will give Tamiya Italian Red a try instead of MM italian red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob McKee Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I use MM laquers as well and have had good success from them. I wish they had a broader range of colors to choose from in the MM line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I agree to , the MM lacquer line is really small, what would really be nice if I hobby lobby would carry tamiya paint, since its about ten mins from me. What I find really funny is the LHS dont carry any of the MM lacquer's at all, just enamel which I refuse to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool Hand Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 WOW ! you guys are cruising along. Paint job looks good Rob,not bad for straight out the can.I agree with you about tamiya paints.They are my prefered choice too Kyle and Charles your builds are progressing well. I got a bit side tracked with non model related stuff. But body has been prep sanded and currently soaking in dishwashing detergent,will get some primer on it after tea then let it dry overnight. Whilst the body drys il get evrything else prep'd and start some sub assemblies.Going be a late night need to catch up on lost time,and get everything ready for paint tomorrow. Keep at it fella's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am happy with the progress. Almost everything is now painted so a good drying over night will leave me ready to really make some progress tomorrow. There still will be some minor painting to do but nothing huge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
