two tone suggestion
suprafastcelica replied to suprafastcelica's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I was thinking the silver should be first but with the black on top, in theory the black would have a good chance of settling under the tape. I was thinking of getting that liquid masking film to use as coverage to avoid any bleed through. any thoughts on that? -
I have done a few two tone paint job with success. I am wanting my next one to b perfect. I use Tamiya paints. I want to paint a car black (top) and silver (bottom). i have 3M fine line tape and Green 3M 2 inch masking tape. What color is suggested to paint first? i am trying to have no bleed through anywhere. Any suggestions to accomplish this?

suprafastcelica replied to John Pol's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Have very large ziploc bags. Probably like 3 gallon. I have one for each of the following, rims, tires, axles/suspension, interior, body, underhood, glass, chassis. I also have very small bags for complete unbuilt engines and all parts for it plus instructions. -
First time resin user
suprafastcelica replied to suprafastcelica's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
That does help. Thank you very much. -
I am going to be building a resin kit for the first time. It will have a doner kit so the main resin is the body. I just want to know if there is anything special i have to do. Sanding, prep, anything. I plan to use tamiya paint on the body and testor enamals on the rest.

I bought a Italeri Peterbilt 377A/E kit. i was told it is missing a front rim. once i got looking at kit i kind of question if it is or not. I see 4 chrome rims for the rear, 2 chrome front rims, and 1 grey molded rim (looks like a front) that is of the tree. what is that gray rim for? i believe all the inner rears are all accounted for.

suprafastcelica replied to Casey's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
Just a FYI for everyone on the tailgate issue. Email Round2, they know of the issue and have a list they will put you on to get the correct one sent to you once available. -
Thanks for you input. i have used Italian red on what plastic before and it, to me, looks a lot brighter than this.. that is why I asked. I realize that the caps are not always right but the caps on Italian red and Bright red look the same.
