Finally got my 3 Tamiya polishing compounds after a month wait.

Thank you Larry and Jeff. Hopefully I have enough of that factory color to do the fastback. ?

Thank you David,Garry, James, Bart, Bob, Michelle, Doyle and Eric.

Good idea. I'll remember this.

Finished this today. Now onto the fastback and I’ll have a trio. Hopefully all in the same Ford color.

That is beautiful! I’ve never seen one before.

I had bought this before but had problems. But I’m giving it another go today I thought for sure when you would tell someone Duplicate-Color primer. You were referring to the more expensive one because your work is so beautiful Steve. At least 1 of the 3 came out ok. I’m onto my 4th light coat since 1 p.m. Don’t think the Ford or Nova are going to fair well. Too etched. And also I’m priming a new 66 Mustang fast back. I’ll see what happens. Thanks for the input guys. I’ll post after photos later.

I know some of get meds in these bottle. I use the taller ones with the cap reversed. The reversed cap make them more stable. Put a few pebbles in the bottom to give them weight. They make great reusable stands to hold what you are painting.

This is the primer I've been using.

Several light coats about 10 to 15 minutes apart. Spray one. Set it aside. Next one. Next one. Wait. Then second. Wait. The 3rd coat. Then sprayed painted them about 24 hours later the same way. Several light coats. Don’t know why the Mustang looked ok.

Steve. Are all the short can Dupli-color primers with the dark cap lacquers?

Old Ford kit. New Nova and Mustang kits. Same Duplicolor primer on all of them. Sat 24 hours. Then sprayed the paint. Several light coats. All spray can. Mustang and Nova were the special order auto parts store paint. I’m sure that is lacquer paint. Ordered at the same time. Mustang came out fine. Nova horrible. And Ive used both of those before with no problem. The Ford is Model Master spray can enamel. That came out awful too.

Craig Cermak. Here are some photos for the Ford and Nova. Some from a distance and then really close to the plastic. Question. Since I’ve used Dupli-color primer In the short can with the dark gray cap exclusively. Did they change it? Is there something I need read on the can to know if it’s fit for lacquer? The Mustang in the photos was done at the same time as the Ford and Nova. Model Master paint on the Ford and special ordered cans of paint from the auto parts store special made to code colors on the Mustang and Nova. Have used both of those with no problem until now. The Mustang paint looks great. The Nova painted twice looked horrible. Different color I know but both ordered and bought at the same time.

A lot of nice people here.

Thanks Carl. They are already in the Purple Pond.

Thank you for the input guys.

Nice Cobra. Room temp 70 and humidity set at 35. Dupli-color gray primer in the short more expensive can.

There is 2 coats of Testers wet clear Steve. I've been waiting a month now for my polishing compounds to arrive from Amazon. The Ford was really rough and the Nova just looked horrible. I threw that can of paint out as I've tried to use it on the Nova twice and both times it looked awful. They are both back in the pond.

I don’t know what is going on. All the same primer. Nova needs to be stripped again. Ford needs to be stripped again. But Mustang will be fine with some polishing. I had stripped the Ford and Nova in Super Clean before and the plastic looked all etched. I’m at a loss as to what is going on. Same primer on all of them. Can’t blame that I guess. Mustang and Nova both had paint that was ordered from the parts store. The Ford was Model Masters Turquoise Metallic Auto Enamel. And the Model Master doesn’t really look like metallic does it?

Thank you Bob.

These arrived today. I have a Mustang coupe and a convertible in the same color. Next is the fastback. The Mustang Trio!

Looks great

Thank you Larry.

Looks great.

I felt with him a month or so ago. Things seemed fine.
