Hi I hope this helps I to am a big Krylon fan I use it on a lot of plastic projects but I have found that when it comes to models it is not as good as if I used the Model Master or Tama brand for both the primer and finish coat. I have had this happen to a couple of my cars both Revel and AMT so I have stopped using it on my cars and stick to the model paint. Someone had told me that in some cases the Krylon is to strong of a base chemical for the light plastic used on models.

1963 Pontiac Bonneville Hard Top. Update, 3/25
rickcaps55 replied to StevenGuthmiller's topic in WIP: Model Cars
The color sounds great I know the color it would be nice with that car. I restored one about 4 years ago it's worth sending the chrome to little motor car company to re do the chrome they do a great job and now that modelhause is no longer around that will be the only way to go. -
That came out awesome great colors and the hood is great perfect !!!!

Anybody doing promo parts
rickcaps55 replied to BubbaBrown's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Wow good luck with that one my friend if no one takes over Modelhaus it looks like the glue booms will be headed to the trash not the bench.!! I used to buy up every glue boom I could because I know I could rebuild it like new with the help of Modelhause it was the only way to get old AMT's cheep. -

Hi no it's not a Perry's resin I have one of them. The Perry's is nice and has good detail the one in the photo does not even come close to a Perry's I had to add the trim to the grill his does not come with it and I had to send the chrome out to be plated. The one in this photo has way more detail and sharper detail to the chrome. -

Any chance we can just get the dam thing out I'm 64 and want to be around to build a couple of them.!!!!! There models they will never be perfect that's up to the model builder that's why we are MODEL BULIDERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....The problem is 90% of the young builders can't time away from there video games and there computers to really set and build something anymore they want it all handed to them problem free.!!!!! -
