Hi guys I'm wondering how safe it would be to use a ceiling fan or any not recommended for flammables to paint with lacquer paints. From what I understand, there could be a possibility of an explosion but I'm seeing most of you guys are using ceiling fans which shouldn't be protected from flammables?

I was wondering what the process would be to make custom carbon fibre decals? Mask the area i want to apply to make the shape i want to make, and then cut it out on carbon fibre sheet? would carbon fibre be easily bent in one piece or will i need a solvent or better to use multiple pieces of carbon fibre? (i want to decal off the black roof part) http://heartlandoug.com/black-car-black-rims-hd.html/black-car-black-rims-hd-ferrari-white-black-rims-cool-car-wallpapers-for-your-choice-photos

sounds good, will order asap, thanks for input

how did you fix the warped door issue? and excellent work! was this build really challenging? Thinking of ordering it..

holy that looks amazing! i wish i could have one hahaha what site did you get the SL 63 from?

I was planning to build a metal box as a "booth" to house everything in since i have it in school and we basically make what we want..

Your booth sounds costly to the average person without extra parts lying around, keeping in mind that i am still in school, with no job or anything, would an exhaust system work well enough for airbrushing? Or will i have to wait a couple years until i have the money to "invest" into a proper booth. Would just an exhaust system work since I am a amateur modeler? I might plan on building around the bilge pump I linked.

oh.. so to build a proper booth i would need to build a fully enclosed case, with two of those glove things attached. I'll look into that and see how it'll work out for me! Edit: Would something like this be sufficient for a fully enclosed spray booth? http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/800-gph-bilge-pump-0793507p.html#.VCEYBLFhMtU

we want more!!!! good stuff!

i read somewhere that the bathroom exhaust fans were only water tight, being in a more humid environment? can anyone confirm if they are spark free or water tight?

is michaels a hobby store? or an arts and crafts store? I live in canada might not have styrene tho ):

I was wondering, what the best option would be, homemade? or storebought? I want to spend as least as possibly can but want to have a "safe" booth. So i have a few questions for DIY booths, 1) will the fan have to be expolsion proof/spark free? Where do i get one? 2) If i filter it, are the expolsive fumes in the paint and will be filtered out or will i still need to be using a spark free fan? 3) which types of paints to spray is the least harmful? acrylics, enamels, lacquer, etc I am planning to build a metal casing, which is basically free, just the cost of fans, or lights if needed. I have some questions for storebought booths too, 4) Are the fans there rated for spark free? May edit if more questions come up 5) if building my own booth would a furnace filter be sufficient?

so where does one buy styrene sheets/rods? Are there any at craft stores? Like michaels? Or buy online? and if online anyone have a website for canada?

love those wheels, where did you get them? come with tires as well?

no update? D: was looking great

acrylic craft paints can be thinned with water aswell right?

I meant messy paint jobs as like.. you know how sometimes you're painting in those fine details and you get some on a part you dont want to, some thinners you can just wipe it off with a Q tip with some thinners on it

Since this is a supplies doing with paints I guess it should fit in if i ask my question here instead of making another post.. What type of thinners work best to clean brushes from testors enamels? And I'm thinking cheap, so not testors enamel paint thinner.. does lacquer thinner work? or what thinners do they sell at the hardware store that is cheaper, and will it work for cleaning up messy paint jobs?

It looks good, theres some minor imperfections but the final product is good!

lots of great information, thanks! Will look into what paints i can get, either pearl paint with gloss coat ontop or regular paint with a pearl top coat

any pictures of the home made tools you guys use? or even store bought?

oh my, that looks awesome! going with pearl! thanks guys

I havent been into any custom work, just building stock box builds,

If i were to take the fujimi kit of the lamborghini gallardo and convert it to the later series front like this one : how hard would you think it was on a scale of 1-10
