When painting with acrylics, you MUST prime, right?

I have the BMF 'New Improved Chrome'. I have big problems with getting it to adhere. AND I have found 'Microscale Micro Metal Foil Adhesive'. Unfortunately I have not tried it yet, so I can't say if it works. It cost me $4.59.

Thanks so much, Kris!

Thanks Peteski for pointing out that denatured alchohol is an excellent de-greaser.

The SBF GT40 intake (1/25) offered by MAD model parts is such that I really need a real photo of an actual application. Is it a turbo set up? How does it connect with the exhaust? I plan to use this piece on the AMT 1/25 Cobra Roadster. Thanks

I think I've got the info I need. Thanks. This thread can be closed.

Thank you.

I bought a gallon and it does not strip acrylic paint very good, so I am hoping I can use it to thin acrylic paint. Thanks

This thread can be closed as I have ordered an AMT parts-pack "Redline tires".

Thank you so much my friends.

I opened a new package of BMF chrome and it will not stick to the painted plastic surface. I was using acrylic. Any comments? Thanks

Replicas and Miniatures of Maryland do not carry the redline tires anymore, alas.

I use a 150cfm furnace fan, used.

Wowie Zowie, Mike! Problem sol-ved! (A reference to the Pink Panther movies, which I don't really like.)

Hello. Been searching for some 14" redline tires, for the Lindberg '66 Chevelle (don't know the scale). The 'stickers' don't work. Any comments would be great. Thanks

I have a '66 AMT Mustang chassis complete you can have.

After scribing the panel lines, what works best to high-light the panel lines? A dark water-color dilute wash? I have heard of a product called "Mig". I have also heard of using a very dilute wash of oil-paint. What do you think? Thanks.

How you doing. Probably some of you guys (and gal(s)) have used it. It looks great when it is used in magazine articles. Any comments? Thanks

Thanks folks.

Can I glue the front and rear fascia onto the body and then paint it, before installing the chassis/interior? The front fascia doesn't fit too well and I'd like to 'putty' the spots that are not quite right, paint the whole thing, then install the chassis/interior? Thanks

Thank you so much everybody! (This online forum is so valuable, how can it be free? I do subscribe to MCM. Plus, what it means in maintaining a community!)

Hopefully all '68 Road Runner kits are the same scale because I do not know the brand of kit I'm referring to! A Hemi comes in the kit and the Carter carbs look awful tall. If these carbs are not accurate, can anyone suggest some better ones? Now is that perfectly clear? LOL Thanks

Interesting how the front suspension was 're-arranged'.

I had p.e. buckle hardware that would accept 1/4" ribbon I got from Hobby Lobby. I would cut the ribbon at an angle to make a point, and then slick it down with saliva. This method took me hours but I finally got it! Now I would use a type of medical tape that is like paper that I got from Walgreens; the pharmacist helped me out to choose the right stuff. It is "Well" brand paper tape, latex free, 1" X 10 yards.

It seems that Model Car Garage used to have such p.e. buckles, GM type. You could use 1/4" ribbon. Thanks
