Shot some clear coat on the body today and it really gives this blue a great shine!

Fseva - yes it's the same kit. Good to know I'm not the only one having some issues with them! Eventhough most of my issue is being new and not having experience Lol! Casey & afx - Thank you guys for the knowledge! I actually was able to peel the decal off and I'm going to leave it that way, clear coat and a polish and I will be able to finish this model. I'm going to buy some solution for future builds. I did some research and wish I knew about that earlier! Lesson learned! I can always build another Camaro down the road. Thank you guys!

Decals also had this look to it,I'm sure it is because I didn't use any solution. Going to pick some up for my next build. I'm not to worried about the stripes on this one because I actually kind of like it without them Thank you for the advice.

So I went to add the decals on my camaro before the clear coat and they did not go in as smooth as planned. There are some wrinkles in the stripes that I can't seem to get out. Will clear coating over help hide the wrinkles at all? Or am I better off taking the decals off the car for a better look instead of wrinkly decals on a paint job. Is it too late to take the decals off? Still very new to model building and decals are very frustrating! Any advice is much appreciated! Thank you

Thank you!

Small update, I have been side tracked with another build I started but I had a little bit of time this morning to spray the grill and add some finishing touches. I was going for a more subtle yet tougher look than original so I went with flat black. Clear coat should be hitting the body this week!

Thanks! It has a very fine metallic flake when the light hits it correctly, pictures do not do the color justice. It's Duplicolor BFM0340 Royal Blue if anyone is interested.

Such a sweet build!

Finally got some time to spray some paint on the body. First paint job in my booth! Very happy with this color and how it came out. Clear coat is next on the list!

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

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.
