  1. bought mine on ebay , 3mm and 5mm
  2. Thanks for posting at first I thought it was a T.R.O.G. event. Lot of Rolling Bones style cars. Here is my tribute Rolling Bones build.
  3. Splash paints labeling is a bit off. I looked up the number on the surfacer and it was the same number as the primer. I believe the clear activator is for the clear , still unsure on the catalyst. Some bottles don't have any numbers on the label. I did purchase some of these a few years back and some just recently, which may be the cause of confusion,
  4. I am new to Splash Paints and need some guidance. I want to paint a car that has some resin parts. I have Oxide Red Primer and Dark Grey Surfacer, what's the difference between a primer and a surfacer ? I have 2K gloss clear, clear thinner, clear activator and catalyst. I can't find any info on how to use these other than the air pressure and needle size. Any guidance would be highly appreciated.
  5. Big thanks for the donations to our Modelfest, it is today and maybe I will be lucky enough to win one.
  6. Didn't see them on his web site. My club puts on a Model Car Fest and he donated some kits
  7. coming soon . thats all I can say
  8. My first thought was 50's Hudson but the except for the headlight eyebrow and the square mirror. The Baby Bird would also have a round mirror. No sure what year they started with the square outside mirrors.
  9. For some reason the front reminds me of a Catfish
  10. From what I remember I used lacquer thinner
  11. I put clear rhinestone's behind the lens
  12. I have used Duplicolor primer decanted in a airbrush with no problem. It may need thinned a bit.
  13. 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
  14. I would send you the PDF but this page won't allow it
  15. Look at the "files" on this FB page https://www.facebook.com/groups/901280716708640/?hoisted_section_header_type=recently_seen&multi_permalinks=1239680576201984
  16. you might look at MCW they have many white variation's https://mcwfinishes.com/shop/ols/products/me2108e-off-white
  17. Sprue Glue . Sprue melted into Tamiya Extra Thin, I also have used Evergreen plastic.
  18. 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
  19. found this, I only use the lacquers https://mcwfinishes.com/shop/ols/search?keywords=rust&sortOption=descend_by_match
  20. 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
  21. 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.
  22. this looks close. https://mcwfinishes.com/shop/ols/products/2002-gold
