  1. thank you
  2. Do you have to have a Laserjet printer to make decals
  3. Ok. the body spent the night in the purple pond. Acrylic clear came off all the way to the base coat, real easy. The lacquer clear coat was harder to get off but a small wire brush convinced it. Funny, the Lacquer silver base coat stayed on. Conclusion? The base coat was on a couple of days before I painted the yellow. The lacquer base coat had a couple of days to "dry", "set" or "gas out" , whatever. ALSO , the silver base coat made the iridescent seem to have a "blue" tint to it. Left the front white. Seems the yellow was a better shade of yellow in the front. Take notes, put in book for future reference
  4. Well , the Lacquer clear over the acrylic paint seems to do alright. No bad reactions to it. Of course the acrylic clear over the acrylic paint did fine. The lacquer clear seems to have more shine. Didn't try sanding and buffing, which I should've done. too late now it's in the "purple pond" Rats!
  5. Naw, going to try to stick with airbrush as much as possible
  6. Interior so far. First time opening doors and trunk , first piping seats, first time trying photo-ectch parts. First time with "Fuzzy-Fur" and first time with embossing powder. Alot of firsts. Gonna get better!
  7. I've been using enamel clear. Been able to and buff out "orange peel", "runs" and "trash" in the clear. Can you do the same with acrylic clears???
  8. Hear, Hear! I can vouche for that!!!
  9. LOL
  10. naw. light coats with a hair dryer between coats. thinned with isopropyl alcohol. about a $1 a bottle anywhere. Gonna need a clear top coat. Better than enamel because it dries real quick. mix it til it's about like milk. All my paint jobs will be Acrylic or Lacquer because the go on so easy and dry real quick. Enamel to hard to spray and dries so slow. Also Acrylic cleans up with water. No mess. I bought a hair dryer for $9 at Ollies. Only way to go .
  11. Also, piture does not do the color justice. You should see it in sunlight. Just amazing
  12. Going with that on the body with a pearl white top. All Createx
  13. Make them as high or as low as you need. know where you're coming from
  14. Ok , painted the "Underbody"? with createx iridescent yellow over createx white, including wheel backs. Got to put this aside to work on contest car
