You guys got some nice cars.

Picked these up. Don't know how old any of them are.

Excellent

That custom is beautiful.

I really enjoy looking at theses weathered cars. Very convincing.

That is really a nice build

That is wonderful.

That is awesome. And I like your choice of cars to haul.

OMG Steve. You know who you are talking to right? I'm lucky if I can even build it. I looked at the wire and stuff thinking "what the heck?" LOL.

That's where I bought my last can of primer plus the 3 cans of special mix. I only saw the sandable but will ask the next time I go in.

Well the Trumpeter 1960 Pontiac Bonneville hard top arrived today. Boy that arrived fast. Now I have both of the Pontiacs. Was sealed but I had to open it just to look at it. A lot of parts. Whew! This will wait a while until my painting abilities get better.

I’ve been to all my nearest auto parts stores and I’ve only seen the Duplicolor sandable primer here. I thought I read there was a white Duplicolor primer also which I’ve looked for thinking that would be great for colored plastic kits.

No Steve. First step is Primer. Always. What you use. Duplicolor sandable primer. :-)

Beautiful Gene.

Got a Proshop Mustang fastback in the mail yesterday. Got a Snap Tite 1950 Mercury police car at Ollies today for my great nephew and a Trumpeter 1960 Pontiac hard top on it’s way.No more buying. LOL.

I don’t see anything either. Just a square with some lettered and numbers at the top.

I am going to give MCW a try. With what I have. I figure I’ll try that one again but give a lot of light coats. So it doesn’t start pooling. But primer first. ?

Did my run today. Only the Snap Kit 1950 Mercury Police car. Bought one for my great nephew for when he comes down again.

I had a tube of Crest paste and was just playing around with a scrap piece of plastic. One day I'll learn that " This is nothing new here in the forum". The forum has been here a lot longer than I have been. Think twice I guess. :-)

Made my weekly run. Nothing.

Got it Rick.

I don't know Wayne. I'm just winging it. LOL! I use to just build the models when I was a kid. Never spray painted them but I did one with regular black spray paint. !950 Ford. Came out awful so I never painted anything. Plus we didn't have the money. I bought the kits I had from my paper route with took weeks before you had enough money to buy another kit. I read and read here in the forum and there are so many different opinions, it gets confusing. And this special ordered can of paint does not say what kid of paint it is. And the store is new and the people working there couldn't answer that question.

I had a Toyota that the headlights were getting foggy and read some where that you could use good old tooth paste to get rid of the fog. It worked great and lasted 2 years. I came across a plastic windshield for a kit that had some scuff marks on it. You know that tooth paste did wonders. Just thought I'd through this out there. Not the gel type. The paste type.

The body stripped with no etching. Yay! And the 65 Pontiac is taking longer to get the paint off. question. The paint is coming off in strips. Does that mean it's lacquer?

I can't own the reals ones so these will do. LOL Less upkeep than the real ones also. Well except for my painting record.
