Dodge Driver

Spraying Testors One Coat Lacquers, got a dried silver paint flake about this size (*) under the clear coat. I sprayed three light coats of clear. I will have to sand through the clear to hopefully release the paint flake. I have a full complement of sanding pads and sanding cloths. I could use some guidance on what grit to use to cut through the clear coat without causing me too much paint rework. I'm not all that experienced polishing paint, help is appreciated. Thanks for reading!

Stellar Kenworth! Flawless execution on your truck.

Whatever you choose to call the process, I enjoy seeing the results. Might even try some "slapping" of my own. '

"Snakeslap" was working for me .

Tamiya offers a 2-part putty. It seems hard to find here in the States. Might have to look overseas for it.

Add me to the list of highly satisfied Fireball customers. Joseph's quality is exemplary as has been noted. His service and courtesy are the best as well. It took less than seven days to get my order. Highest recommendation from me!

Just today I picked up some embossing powder at Michael's craft store. They do offer shipping as well. I've used flocking in the past, and haven't been happy with the results. After seeing what can be done with embossing powder, I am switching!

Got my first order from Fireball Modelworks. Superior service and quality from Joseph! Also hit Michael's with a forty percent off coupon.

My dollars eagerly await a re-issue date. Please, Round 2?

Awesome Toyota! Outstanding paint as well.

Thank you for posting the photos, much appreciated. They are some fine looking engine compartments. i found some Duplicolor engine enamel at work and did a quick test. I sprayed a plastic bottle and was pleased with the results. I'm pretty well sold on Duplicolor enamels. Thanks for the help, Bill.

He'll always be Chet to me. Thanks for the laughs Bill Paxton!

Gonna look good! Keep those updates coming.

That looks super! Very original. I like the '37 Pa license plate. (I'm in Pa and have a few real plates of this vintage lying around)

That's a real shame. I was shocked to hear the news. I still quote his lines from The Terminator and Weird Science.

That's gorgeous! A KInder Egg for grown ups.

Thanks David. That answers some questions for me. That leaves TS-31, which seems a bit on the red side.

No argument there. I hadn't considered them for engine paints but I will now.

Looking good! I like the wheel and tire choice.

Tamiya has three oranges that look close. I figure two out of the three should cover the range. But which two?

Can anyone recommend by number (ex. TS-31) which Tamiya spray lacquer color is best for Hemi engines? I want to use this specific paint brand/style. No enamels, no metallics as V2 Orange is. Thanks for your help!

The fish-eye gremlins came to town this weekend. My first paint job in years, and there they were! Not very noticeable, but frustrating nonetheless.

Your Catalina looks superb, Mark. First rate work on the paint and decals as well.

Excellent engine compartment. There's some really nice detail work in there.

Another great HOK paint job from you, Jim. I really like those exhaust tips. Big fan of huge angle cut tips.
