what clear to use with the new testors paints
tabsscale1 replied to lowriderphil's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
Duplicolor Clear is to Hot for it i have tried it. will make it run or bubble up. You might get away with it if you use light coats and no heavy coat. i did light coats after 3 i hit with a heavy coat and it didn't work. Testors one coat clear Is the best i have seen besides duplicolor.Have never tried Tamiyas but I haven't had any luck with their paint anyway. Testors new one coat and modelmasters new lacqurs are the first hobby paints I have used in the last 10 years I like. Been using automotive Duplicolor, HOK and Plastikote for all my paints. -
20/20 for me what gets me i usualy don't get the foreign cars questions right

Where Do You Work And Paint?

Why put done a guy for his opinion. He is on a list that I am on and did point out a lot of body flaws that really look obvious once they were pointed out. He also said that the AMT model is flawed but the body is more accurate. To me I don't care as I didn't buy one of the Novas and don't want one.

I use purple power or super clean that i get at Walmart Takes the clear basecoat of and usualy all done i less than 30 minutes. Westly's Bleche white is also good. Have used Simple green as well. Have used bleach and oven cleaners and brake fluid just don't like the way they work and the toxic smells from them is terrible.

I have used 3M Glazing putty for years until I ran out. Have tried evercoat and bondo and just don't like it and the bondo spot putty always shrinks to much for me. The latest one I used was a Tamiya putty works great and haven't seen any shrinkage. The professional two part bondo I have tried also and where I used it on a model the paint coat came out a differen color. waspainting a candy color with a basecoat of gold. yes i used a auto motive grade primer first. I don'tpaint a model untill i get a good primer on it first.

Also forgot to say everything that was not tied down usually got put out in the streets and all the window downtown would get soaped up or egged. -
Since it is Halloween I thought I would show you guys a picture of my better side

Guy's, Lets Do This!
tabsscale1 replied to george 53's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I ordered 2 from him on the modelcarlist. i wouldn't hesitate from ordering from him he is a stand up guy. Know him from the modelcarlist group for almost 10 years now -
Sound like to me that the can was to far away from the model and the paint was drying before it hit the model. I have always shot within 6 inches with testors or Tamiya paints and don't have any problems. Duplicolor is shot the same way.

You guys are not really reading this right. What i have read is Cerberus Capital Management and GM are trying to merge with Chrysler . Cerberus Capital Management owns most of the GMAC financail side and some of the Gm stock. They did try to merge with Ford first as GM and Ford are working together already on some of the Transmisions they have. I am a true blodded Gm person and could really care less unless they start building that ugly ###### that Chrysler makes. I haven't seen anything from Chrysler i would buy except maybe the Magnum. Gm hasn't wowed me either in the last 10 years. Ford has been the only one and that was only the New Mustang. All the japanese cars are also just plain ugly.
