  3. i paint mine all together with no problem. i do it this way to make sure it's all the same shade of color once it dries . i have painted parts separate in the same session and once dried have two different shades of color. that's the way that works for me..
  4. back when i did de-can spray paint i used the mason jars that people can vegetables and other things in. the lids are metal and have a rubber gasket on them so the paint is sealed inside..... the first time i ever did it no one told me how to do it so i wrapped the can with a old tee shirt then tool a small nail and slowly tapped a hole into the can letting the air out. once the air was out i made a big hole in the can and thought i got this. nothing to it..boy was i wrong. sure wish someone had told me..i got me a quart class jar and started pouring the paint out of the can. when that paint hit the bottom of that jar the chemical reaction cold paint and the warm air caused it to blow like a volcano all over me. face, arms, shirt, pants & shoes..lol..thank God i was out side when i did it..i have did other cans the same way i just dont pore them that fast . i like to watch the paint do crazy things as it adjust to outside temp..
  5. i order from them all the time. mostly hobby tools and they high quality the ones i have ordered. i highly recommend them..

  9. that's been many moons ago..lol.. yes you right.. it was the only motor cycle kit i ever built.. i loved that kit.. the one you buy now comes in white plastic..here is a picture of the first issue.
  10. looks good
  11. Welcome to the forum Scott..
  12. i have not tried this yet but read it on a face book group and they say it works. they also show a picture of it.. a few drops of Black food coloring in some Mop & Glo or Quick Shine then you dip the window down into it ( do not air brush or hand brush) and hang it up to dry over night. you can also do your front glass with it for a more glass look windshield (no tent) also if you use CA glue to install your glass the floor covering will keep them from fogging..
  13. if it for the snap kit i have one. ill PM you.
  14. Awesome Job. the tires really set it off...
  15. spray paint them a gloss or a satin white. what ever white you do the cab with.. silver want look good.. blue below the frame would be to much blue..the white on the rims will break up the blue and look way more better..
  16. you are very welcome Brian, Happy New Year to you also.
