  1. I put clear rhinestone's behind the lens
  2. I have used Duplicolor primer decanted in a airbrush with no problem. It may need thinned a bit.
  3. Lately I have been using MCW lacquers. They work well in the airbrush, no reducing needed, dry fast, run resistant and have a great choice of colors. First paint I have found with a Clear Primer
  4. Look at the "files" on this FB page https://www.facebook.com/groups/901280716708640/?hoisted_section_header_type=recently_seen&multi_permalinks=1239680576201984
  5. you might look at MCW they have many white variation's https://mcwfinishes.com/shop/ols/products/me2108e-off-white
  6. Sprue Glue . Sprue melted into Tamiya Extra Thin, I also have used Evergreen plastic.
  7. Looking for a easy to use (I am 73 and "Tech-Challenged") Most of my stash is in storage bins and I like to see what I have on hand. Thanks
  8. found this, I only use the lacquers https://mcwfinishes.com/shop/ols/search?keywords=rust&sortOption=descend_by_match
  9. No problem in a dehydrator. I have had too many cans clog up and had to decant them. Now I go to the Auto Parts store and buy Dupli-Color
  10. I always use short pieces of boot material and slide them down to the distributer cap , then use a piece of shrink tubing around the middle of the distributer and a short way up the cap boots. When heated it shrinks around the boots and looks more like a distributor cap. And I always use the correct wiring order going in the proper rotation and #1 in the correct location . but that's just me.
  11. this looks close. https://mcwfinishes.com/shop/ols/products/2002-gold
  12. Yes I emailed MCW, Mike wrote in a reply that cold weather could be a cause for this. On MCW's application guide it states to paint wet coats from 2 to 3 inch's. You can spray additionally coats without waiting for it to dry. This i did same as all the bodies before leaving a fully smooth glossy finish. The only differences in the process was the cold wet weather. This time it was smooth and glossy until it dried. Drying was done in a dehydrator
  13. I never checked the humidity before. It will be awhile until it stops raining. I will check it when the time comes.
  14. Yes they are all lacquer, I tried the enamel and didn't much care for it. I also used the MCW lacquer primer and lacquer clear
  15. Same as others, Paint was smooth after spray but mottled after as it was drying
  16. No but the area is not heated well and open to some outside elements
  17. Same prep? yes Same Primer? yes Same spay location? yes Painting during rain can bring moisture into effect. , Currently 85 percent humidity Do you have moisture trap on your set up? yes
