I have never had Duplicolor Clear paint yellow. The 56 chevy in my avatar is still white after 5 or 6 years now. -
What was tucked under the tree,2011
tabsscale1 replied to Austin T's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Never get models for Christmas as my wife thinks i have way to many. I did get4 Cans of Testors enamel paints and a Ultra Sonic cleaner. Most got some clothes. We did have to scrape for money as it has been short this year but it is like that every year around here. -
Well Let's see I finished one that was started 2 years ago. I built a couple for the model car show that were given away as door prizes. Bought between 30 and 40 new kits and bought 5 or 6 resin bodies. I sold over 100 kits and that paid for everything i bought.Hopefully going to get a few built this year as i have been really motivated for the first time in years.

what do you clearcoat with?
tabsscale1 replied to thatz4u's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
When I shoot HOK paints I use Duplicolor Clear either out of the can or decamted into the bottle for my Airbrush. he testors Wet Look Clear Or Modelmasters ultra clear i use over the testors one Coat or their lacquers. Also Have Shot Testors Clear Like Donn does over some as Well. I Have some Eurothane Clear I had left from my Daugher car That I like As well. With it I don't have to worry about the basecoat as it works good over them all. -
I like the Paasche VL and the Iawata eclipse Both are double action and are under $200. Ifyou have a HoBBy Lobby around they usually carrie these and this week they have a 40% coupon and could get either one for under $100. I Use a Campbell Hausfeld compressor for them. Bought it at Walmart for around $70 or under can't remember for sure. It has like a 3 or 3 gallon tank and has a built in regulator. Alos you can check out Dixie art for the Airbrushes Seems they are the cheapest to me and they also carry replacementparts if you ever need them.Here is the link http://www.dixieart.com/

Stubburn Chrome
tabsscale1 replied to cherokeered's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Super Clean takes off even that stubborn chrome and it takes off the underlying clear as well. It is the only thing i use. -
So what do you use in it to clean your airbrushes? Lacquer thinner or water Or what? Thinking of buying one for myself for Christmas
