Can not wait to see this finished!

Amazing builds!

Well finally made a paint booth and had some time off of work and was able to get some spraying done today. Primed the hood and body, but the body will need some work. The hood actually took it's first coat of color! And of course this wonderful disaster! As I went to turn the body around the front hit the filter inside the booth and the primer was still fresh. Left me with this, I'll sand and re-prime when I get the chance. On a positive note the first coat of color went on great! Can't wait to add some more and clear it!

Absolutely amazing.

I wish I knew they were just going to throw it out I would have tried to make use of it even for parts. I already returned it for the 1940 ford custom truck and I test fit it right in the parking lot to make sure haha!

Ok thank you guys! I'm going to see if I can just return it.

Hey everyone, So today I was in hobby lobby and had a coupon and decided to put it to use and bought the Revell 56 ford f100 pickup for a future build this year. Instead of just throwing it on a shelf until I was ready to start it, I was too excited so I opened it up just to do some test fitting and was very disappointed. I tried the hood first and of course it doesn't sit correctly at all! Has anyone else ever had this issue with this kit?

Amazing paint job

I really admire you're builds they're immaculate. Great job on this one

X3 Duplicolor

I actually ordered a bilge blower (brushless) and am waiting for the arrival. Should be here in the next couple of weeks. Once I have some more time ill decide where I'm going to build it etc. I'll be sure to post up the results!

Just got the floor care in from online, sanded the tail light with 1500 grit til it was smooth, washed it, then brushed on some floor care and so far the results look great! Going to wait for it to dry to see the final outcome. Thank you again for helping me save my tail light!

Here's my daily driver. 2011 Wrx. Bought the car brand new and have done some mods to it since then. Mod list Isc coilovers Front and rear fenders are rolled to fit the wider wheel (New wheels will be going on soon, just sold the ones in the pic) new ones will be Rota PR-1 18x10 on nitto sport 245/35 tires Isc Rear control arms Perrin Front strut brace Jna front lip HID kit Cobb intake Nameless performance exhaust Tsudo catted down pipe Cobb stage 2 tune Kartboy short throw shifter Custom cherry wood shift knob Black alcantara suede wrapped center console, shift boot area, cup holder area Muteki titanium lugs are going on this spring I'm sure I'm missing more miscellaneous mods Car made 321hp 364tq Still have some more mods I plan on doing aesthetically but I'm happy and can not wait to get the new wheels on. The low life is the good life. These are the only pics it allowed me to upload for some reason, thanks for looking!

Can't wait to see this build!

I have also made the mistake of trying rustoleum paint. Same deal as the primer, sprays to much for a model in my opinion. If you're looking for a good "off the shelf" can to spray stick with duplicolor products. I am by no means a master at painting, I am still very new to the hobby, but I have experimented with paint brands and I have had good results with duplicolor products and have seen some great models painted with duplicolor on this forum. Here is an example of a hood I painted with duplicolor products.

I had this problem also on one of my first models. The primer goes on way to thick in my opinion as well. Covers to much to fast and is not good for models. I switched to Duplicolor Sandable Primer and am very very happy with the outcome. It is a much easier spray to control. Rustoleum was difficult for me.

I use Duplicolor for my models and from my personal experience Testors clear coat as well as Rustoleum Acrylic Enamel clear coat give good results. The Rustoleum is a thicker clear coat and really only needs 2 coats and works great (very tough stuff). I know I'm cross breeding products but I have had good results with both. I have also heard good things about the "newer" Duplicolor clear coat as well. I simply haven't tried it yet because I still have a full can of both the Testors and Rustoleum . Once those are empty I will most likely give the Duplicolor a try.

Tom - I'll send you a pm with more questions on your fan. Thank you

Thanks! I'll look for a 120cfm fan from Home Depot or Lowes at an affordable price. For the booth itself I'm just going to use a large plastic bin so I can move it around if need be. But the poster board is a good idea!

Has anyone else had good success with bathroom fans in they're paint booths?

This thing is sweet! Great build

Heroncustom - I will be sending you a pm about your booth later today! Jwrass - I am a younger modeler (23) just getting back into it since a very very young age. I am employed and do have a degree, but the time being staying with my parents still works and plus I save a good amount of money (instead of wasting it on rent, I would rather pay a mortgage) for when I do decide to buy a house. Anyways, Thank you for the welcome! I always turn to this forum for advice, tips, and to see peoples amazing builds that boggle my mind! This is a great model building community, and I hope to see some of your projects as well!

Tom - That really is a very impressive setup. I would love to have that one day but currently a smaller one ( about large plastic bin size) would be ideal. (Still live with parents). Nonetheless I hope to one day be able to have a set up similar to yours.

you have got my attention on this one! looking forward to seeing this build

Looks good! Would you mind me asking what kind if fan you are using to suck up the fumes and over spray? I am looking to build a booth for myself soon hopefully!
