Model Car Kustoms

Yes I did Yes they are. I don't think I'm going to use them, but i do like the way they look.

lol, I wish they would be a little longer too, but I just run out of stuff to talk about, (in hindsight I always could have said more, but I try to cover the "things I forgot" in the next video) Thanks for watching. Thank you Sir. check it out, just painted the under side of the chevelle http://youtu.be/LoqeQFZMuf4

Thanks

The interior is now together, still trying to decide on whether to clear coat it or not (it will sort of be hard to tell once the body is on the car, so who knows, lol) http://youtu.be/0bx098c39xg

Hey whats up guys, so this project have been on the back burner for a few weeks (while I've been trying to finish other models) So here are some photos that show the car with clear coat on it, and some wheels I was trying out for fun (still not sure what the stance should be for this car yet) Also check out some of the videos earlier in the post to get a better view

Hey guys, here's a look at the interior.... http://youtu.be/2P9GUNR3bws

I always listen to coast to coast while building models (640 AM los Angeles, CA) (but i really wish art bell was back, or that george knapp would have been Art's replacement LOL!,) Im always up late building my models, its the only time I have to do it (after your significant other has gone to sleep lol), even if it measn being tired for work the next day lol I've always liked night time better then the day, I don't have to deal with so many idiots! lol!

Nice! The Ectomobile is on my "to build" list, looking forward to future updates

Hey thanks

1. There really is no "exact thinning ratio" for this paint. Many factors come in to play when deciding on how thin or thick to mix it, including the type of airbrush you use, nozzle size, psi, and ambient air temperature. When I mix I usually go for a 1/1 ratio, sometimes I add a little less thinner, sometimes more. You will have to fine tune your own mixing ratio, one that will work best with your gun. If your gun can handle shooting the paint thicker (my brush cannot, it clogs my tip) by all means go that route, shooting a thicker paint will allow you to apply less coats to achieve the same effect. I also use a heating lamp to dry my paints in between coats, so i can shoot thin and dry quickly then re-coat, the heat lamp is what allows me to shoot so thin and still get great results on the final product check out this video (if you haven't already seen it http://youtu.be/8SRym9nNeMA 2. Currently I am shooting at 60 psi, though this varies for me (and it will for you), I paint in my garage so the temperature fluctuates, and I will have to change my psi accordingly (40-60 psi seems to be the zone I stay in) 3. I would probably avoid a gravity fed gun with this type of paint, As you have noticed, the flake settles to the bottom of your paint cup, I would imagine it would lead to a massive clog up of metal flake in your gravity fed gun . Your flake will always settle, before coats I will give my airbrush a shake to help to re-suspend the flake. 4. and 5. There is no pigment to the paint, think of it as a clear coat with metal flake in it. The color you see depends on a few things, what base color you use (I used black for this car,), what color paint you buy (the flake color), and how many coats you apply. I used black for the base on the 56 nomad because I wanted a darker/deeper color (even though I wanted to see as little of my base (black) as possible. In my case I wanted to see nothing but metal flake. Here is a video showing lighter coats of the metal flake (2 or 3 coats) on different base coats, using the same color metal flake, http://youtu.be/s3onCclUfC0

Hey thanks for the compliment! If you (or anyone else for that matter) has any questions (maybe I left out something) let me know, Here is another video about paint with the FolkArt Paints http://youtu.be/xOeZeKrthc0

Shooting the first coat on the interior, to sort of give you an idea of the coverage http://youtu.be/PIBCUcHrdZA
