seems like you are doing a fine job of a vinyl roof start,I use .015-.025 size plastruct rods,then I spray It with MCW textured finishes,they have black,white colors,its lacquer and goes on easy and dries super quick and looks great!

'63 Galaxy lightweight planned build
Nicholas replied to customline's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Mike from MCW moved down south but still has the resin lighweight interior,...only down side is since his move the resin stuff got way backlogged and he's about 4 plus months to catch up!,he shut down the resin ordering on his web site so you cant even browse for the time being!..btw very nice build you got there! I have the parts on my shelf and the starliner kit to use the chassis that someday I will get around to building. -
Another Dupli-Color primer question
Nicholas replied to NOBLNG's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
i think its the white color primer is the issue,every time i use the duplicolor white primer it comes out like that, last time i used duplicolor white primer was about 8 yrs ago i stopped using it and switched to tamiya,must be the pigment in the white i guess? -
very sorry for your loss, those builds look great! i was tempted to get the harts conversion for my 70 amt kit,but decided to leave it as a 70 instead of a 71

Who has the lowest prices on MCW enamels?
Nicholas replied to Monty's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
i use mcw paints all the time and sometimes their lacquer line when i can find the color i want in enamel,i use the enamel hardner only to speed up my drying times as i dont use a dehydrator,i also use the enemal clear a lot(looks yellowish in color in the bottle)as well as their 2k style lacquer clear and i have used the hardner with the enamel clear,but it seemed to backfire as it took months to dry and the paint was still a little soft?i wrote to mike at mcw and he did not recomend using hardner with their enamel clear,only lacquer thinner like mr color or their mcw brand as that will speed up the drying time a bit -

Nicholas replied to Monty's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
if its who i think it is on e bay they combine shipping,i also buy direct from mcw,it ends up being the same cost except when you buy directly from mcw they have a full stock and you dont have to wait to get the paint colors you want -

Revell 1971 Boss 351 Mustang in "Medium Yellow Gold"
Nicholas replied to baycolony's topic in Model Cars
i always use MCW enamels,and only use their lacquer when the color i want is not available in enamel always liked that ford yellow color and am regretting not painting at least one of my 2 mustang builds in that color,i used the poly green and red in enamel,your build is superb and well done! -
