I'M VEWY VEWY TWICKY

Sounds like we have pretty much the same system. I just use my mouse - point at the pic, right click - then left click on save image as... title it, and click on "Save". Anything that comes up on my screen I can save, and use later. It goes into my pic account and I can move it to my image hosting account - Photobucket - then I can send it anywhere I want, or use it for whatever I want - SIMPLE . Here's a sample I did for ya - took about 45 seconds.

WHO WANTS TO RECOVER ??? - THIS IS TOO MUCH FUN

HA HA GEORGE - HE GOTCH YA

EEEEEEEEEHAH - NOW I DON'T HAVE TO SCRATCH ONE . PROBABLY ORDER A DOZEN THANKS FOR THE INFO

I AM PROUD OF YOU GUY'S YOU ARE SHOOTING SAMPLES FIRST - AND GETTING BEAUTIFUL RESULTS . THIS IS JUST THE BEST - I LOVE IT HERE - dave

Thanks Dewan Here's the interior shot from your Photobucket account that I was asking about - VERY NICE . THANKS FOR THE LINK - NICE JOB .

NICE Glad you took everyone's advise and did the "SPOON TEST" . IT ALWAYS TELLS YOU WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW - CONGRATS . Another tip is, the more candy color you use the darker it get's, so don't be afraid to see how dark a color can get as you add more on your test spoons. GREAT JOB ON YOUR SAMPLES - dave

ABSOLUTELY 100% . I have used all types of paints for nearly 60 years including painting several real cars, mostly mine, and in that time you learn some things, when your painting models too . Solvents can penatrate through primers and attack plastic - HENCE THE WRINKLING . When I use URETHANE HOK I always seal the plastic with an automotive primer by DUPLICOLOR, then shoot catalyzed primer over that, so the HOK won' attack the plastic. THE HOK URETHANE PAINT SOLVENT WILL GO RIGHT THROUGH THE DUPLICOLOR PRIMER AND ATTACK THE PLASTIC. But I have to use the DupliColor primer because the catalized urethane primer will also attack the plastic . Basically to simplify things now that I confused you MORE, is that do samples with the spoons. AND REMEMBER - DIFFERENT TYPES AND BRANDS OF PAINTS CAN BE USED TOGETHER, BUT VERY CLOSLY TOGETHER. LETTING PAINTS DRY TOO LONG IS EVERYONES WORST ENEMY IMHO - . I HAVE PAINTED "HOT" LACQUERS OVER ENAMELS FOR YEARS WITH NO ILL AFFECTS - WHICH IS CONSIDERED IMPOSSIBLE - NOT . So, all that being said, get yourself a "GIANT" package of white plastic picnic spoons, and start shooting samples. THEN when your satisfied, SHOOT THE MODEL. Oh, and orange candy over pearl WORKS GREAT. GEORGE BARRIS - THE KING OF THE CUSTOMIZERS was the FIRST to shoot candy over white pearl about 50 years ago and IT'S STUNNING. JUST MAKE SURE YOU USE THE RIGHT COMBINATION OF PAINTS - HENCE THE SPOONS .

YUP - GREAT STUFF BEEN USIN' IT FOR ???? ... since it came out . Hobbytown brand is the one I use. I like to use an eye dropper to apply it with, as it's precise, and you won't waist it spraying. THESE ARE MY "WEAPONS OF CHOICE"

O.K. now, I don't have a clue what this car is , but I do like all kinds of cars, and this is WAY COOL LOOKING . I'm looking at the interior, wishing you had of takin' some detail pics before assembling it, because it looks very nice. The outside is done beautifully too. Paint, graphics, everything looks just right VERY NICE JOB ON AN UNUSUAL SUBJECT ( TO ME ), BUT A VERY COOL LOOKING CAR.

O.K. I'LL GO FIRST

NOW THAT'S FUNNY

I POSTED IT FOR YOU HERE IN THE "GENERAL" LINK SO YOU COULD FIND IT EASILY. SCROLL DOWN UNTIL YOU FIND IT HOPE IT HELPS - dave

Here's the thread I did a while back that was mentioned here. Hope this helps - dave

I AGREE WITH EVERYONR HERE - JUST DON'T CLEAR COAT IT OR IT WILL INSTANTLY YELLOW AND OVER TIME JUST GET WORSE. THE ONLY CLEAR THAT WORKS, THAT I'VE FOUND, IS A TWO-PART URETHANE MADE FOR MARINE USE. BOAT DECKS AND HULLS. WHEN YOU OPEN THE CAN, IT'S CLEAR - JUST LIKE WATER, UNLIKE HOK UC35, OR PPG, OR ANY OTHER'S. The product is called "GLISTEN PC" and it's made by a company called "RESTO MOTIVE". They also make a product that's well known called "POR 15" for neutrlizing rust. Luckily they sell it here at a local auto paint store, but if you go on-line you can find it there too. That's where I found it after a car painter friend recommended it.

Sounds like you could be a great "Resource" for some new idea's, and help a lot of people out. GLAD YOUR HERE . HOPE YOU ENJOY THE "FAMILY" .
