  1. Can you show me where I ever said to use glue for stripes? Perhaps a visit to the eye doctor is in order before you start on this project.

    If you're using nothing but rattle cans, it should probably work fine since modelers have been using this method for decades. You'll want to have all applicable parts (front & rear fascias, hood etc) primered & sanded smoothly first, as he did, because paint won't hide a poorly prepped surface. Spray the body & other parts at the same time, with equal coats so the color remains consistent

    Most painters say you should spray the lightest color first. If you intend to build an accurate Sheby Mustang based on that picture, Testors makes the Wimbledon White you'll need. The Ford guys on here should be able to recommend the proper glue for the stripes.

    there you go

  2. The revell kit is real nice and it is a simple kit to build. I have built many of them. Your title says your doing a 66 and that kit is the most common. The picture you posted is a 65. Revell did kit the 66 and the 65. The 65 version was only released once I believe. The reason I bring this up is that you stated that you wanted to build the most proper 66. The 66 model had more color options and Shelby tried a few more performance options in 66. All the 65 street versions were white with the blue stripes the only major option was what wheels were put on them.

    nice peace of info,

    but i only showed how i am going to paint the car

  3. thank you guys for telling me to look closer on the internet.

    what i found is :

    1.clean the model

    2.wet sand the car

    3.paint the primer on

    4.paint a thick line of paint and let it dry

    5.apply a thin coat of clear

    6.mask of the stripes with Tamiya tape

    7.paint the model to cover all of it and let it dry
