  17. Thanks mikemodeler! I've gotten lots of help and tips from just about everywhere, but there are a couple of great youtube channels that show and tell every step of the process.

  22. Thank you, I appreciate that! Because I painted it inside, I took a chance and bought a three pack of Stynylrez for the airbrush and used the gray. The stuff is awesome, comes ready to spray, covers excellent and has virtually no odor. I might never go back to rattle can primer again, lol. Almost all craft paints are rather thick and need to be thinned. I mainly followed Chris Chapman's (check him out on youtube, very informative) lead on how to thin, what with, and at what pressure. I used a custom mixture of these paints and thinned about 50/50 with a mixture of windshield washer fluid and Pledge w/Future shine(50/50 on that mixture too) and sprayed at about 22-23 lbs. For the interior and chassis and exhaust I used both Apple Barrel and Anita's craft paints. I cleared the body and seats/dash with the Pledge w/Future at about 15 lbs. I neither sanded nor polished or waxed the finish. There are lots of other youtube videos on spraying craft paint, and they all pretty much use the same methods and techniques. Here is a link to one of Chris' videos that I think is the most informative. My wife also uses craft paints to paint rocks and stones and I actually use Tamiya TS-13 clear on those with no problems, but not sure how it would do on craft paint on a car body, I would assume it would be o.k., just haven't tried it yet.
  23. Thanks guys, much appreciated! That's the one thing I did forget, I just noticed myself when looking at these pics after uploading them?, a good example of be patient and don't rush?. I was building my brown '69 Camaro alongside this one and just got scatterbrained.
