'40 Ford Coupe..Cadillac engine and Brass Double-Core Radiator
crazyrichard replied to traditional's topic in WIP: Model Cars
whow that georgeous .. also the paint looks like glass , awsome awsome !! more pics please ! -
thnx and well yes kind of found this way worked great for me , after doing it like most all the parts pre-painted i felt this was way easyer and i got betetr results , the less you have to glue after paint the bettter did the panellines , tbh i srewed up and used black and it looked terrrible in a effort to save it i painted gold enamel in there and washed that out and the black toned down a bit . i do feel how it is now contributes to the vintage feel i'm after. although it shiney i still want it to be on the rough used side also the louvres on the trunk need a nother wash after downtoning it i got dark and light earea's tomorrow with daylight i will paint the doorhinges chrome , that i think will also contribute a lot to the body

just a smooth cloth , so a cloth with no structure and i sprayed it on and directly wiped it , then sprayed it ounce more and wiped it again , all right after eitch other worked so good , the spray can paint just sticks in the deep parts better then acrylic paint you def. want to wipe it directly because there would be a big chance you wipe of the chrome if you let it dry a bit . the paint could react a bit or you would need some stuff to get it off this is the end result of the grille

thnx and i was pleased myself on the paint .. firsy m,etallic ever and i think i will go more metallic from here on because i'm close to final asembly i started on the smalls , gave the rims a wash on the deepest part , i put one hubcap on losse so you can see waht it looks like when on the car steering wheel and colum i just painted copper and gave the edge and center a coat of black

awsome . love the paint very very clean
-
dit the inside of the grille black , tried a new way to do this , instead of a wash i just sprayed the whole grlle black and rubbed of the top part leaving the black inside , worked better then a wash with black acrylic paint then clear coated the body with something as reference for reflection you really see the shine and reflectiveness

i'm thinking shiney .. i do want to wash the panellines and wash the louvres on the trunk , i think i will first clear coat it , then do the panellines and clear it a second time i could try to give the lines a bit of depth by using a wash .. like after clearing it wash the bodylines that stick out i sprayed a small box for a test because the clear is a differen brand and i never did metallic so i will test the clear first .. just imagine clearing it and the paint would wrinkle its metallic out of a spray can and there is already clear coat in 2 in one paint ...but its not shiney enough

although i always smiled when i saw this car and thought man thats ugly , i still think its got a lot of character and charm looking great and the paint work and red lines look perfect !!!!!

well looks better now with the ower stance love the two tone ... that bare aluminum inside i just love , something i want to do on my next build myself interiour wise is the cover staying white or are you painting that matte black ?? just one small thing i think the red behind the moon dics is a bit distracting , not really fits the green / white combo maybe that green would have been a good color on the rims before the discs went on (not ment badly ) curious on the end result with clear

awsome job , the boxy design makes for easyer scratching but still you need to get it all right and get dimensions right .. and yours look great .. awsome job !

leve that as it is , looks perfect , on all that brass you dont need some colored lenses imo -
thnx thnx also hehe hey gewoon een spuitbus van de bouwmarkt copper metallic van flexa for the rest who can read dutch > he asked what paint i used and i awnsered that its from a paint can and waht brand thnx !! well after this one i will start with a highboy roadster , i want to make that as low as possible and maybe make a custom shaped roof on it (fixed roof) like a unique shape and ..... some daylight pics , the panellines need a dark wash later on , i just painted the body and chassis again .. on the body the rear trunk panels had some minour lighter spots along the seems .. it still was a bit reflective after drying , but i will do some clear coat to make it realy shine i washed the wood with clear coat , so its not to shiney but the clear brought it to life a bit the color of the wood and paint are actually pretty nice togheter , still enough contrast color wise
