I use a brown sharpie with excellent results over the common white plastic. I can post a picture of a truck bed if you would like to see.

Hey all, I was finally was able to finish this kit. Its box stock other than the carbon fiber hood being lowered a tad more as well as some more camber added. It's a decent kit, some of the parts I wish had a better fit. Anyways here it is, thanks for looking!

I use Tamiya acrylics and use Tamiya thinner as well. Like mentioned earlier patience is key with these to build up the color but they do give good results. I usually thin 2 parts paint to 1 part thinner and spray anywhere between 15-25 psi depending on the job and it seems to do the job. To clean up I use Windex mixed with water. about a 70:30 mix. and it cleans great.

The build is awesome and the paint job is immaculate.

Hey all quick question. As you may have already read I am spraying testors enamel 50:50 with laquer thinner and was fairly happy with the results. I can see how a nice smooth paint job can derive from this method. My questions is, what clear coat do some of you use who use a 50:50 testors/MM enamel method. I have heard using Testors gloss coat will work however it does yellow over time. Are there any other options out there that work for clear coating over this mix? Thank you! - Steve

This is a sweet build!

Great build andpaint job, wow!

Love the color!!!

Great thanks! I'll give it a try.

Wow flawless. Great build

Gave the testors enamel and laquer thinner a try today (ratio 1:1) and After stripping the car twice I can settle for where it's at. Being new to airbrushing I'm still trying to dial in settings, but I can see how people get great results with this. What clear coat do most of you use with good results? There are a couple dust particles that made there way on to the body. Just to make sure, I would have to spray the clear and then sand them out correct? Thank you for all your help!

great, going to give it a try later today. thanks!

I usually get good flow at around 20psi. I stripped the model today and watched some videos on painting. I saw a video on YouTube of someone spraying a 1:1 ratio of the small testors bottles of enamels, with laquer thinner. The results looked great. Has anyone tried this method?

Just wow. Stunning builds

ok, ill try turning the pressure down after I strip this body. With the testors aztek I was told that you did not need to thin it down? I believe I use the #3 tip.

Hey all, So I'm having some trouble with airbrushing. First, I have a Paasche single action model H and use a harbor freight air compressor. I typically spray at about 25psi. I am having some trouble getting a smooth finish. I just sprayed my current project and it came out horrible. I used Testors Aztek pearl blue acrylic. I would like to stay using acrylics for the sake of having less orders then enamels. Should I switch to using enamels and laquer thinner for better results? What at are some techniques you use to get great finishes? Thank you! - Steve

sweet build!
