Beeee-utiful Brian, amazing work and georgeous black paint.?

Josh, you mentioned youdid a gold GT40. Any chance you could send a picture?? Would like to see the gold.

Wow Dave, that looks great, and no clear. Wow.

Good looking drag car there Bruce. All kit parts??

I'll check that out, thanks.

Yep Tim, great looking 'Birds. Reaaly like that engine!!?

I just wonder why there isn't a spot on the display rack for the 5620 tho.

Thanks Jim and Geoff. Yep, That belt line chrome trim is a b****h. Thats why I gave up and just called it a silver stripe. How's my '57 Chevy going Geoff ole Chap???

So if there is any imperfections what do you do before clearing? Also, if there is some roughness in the color coat will the clear coat give it some correction??

Right now I count 3 "Exclusively" threads. ??

Thanks Oliver all the way from Germany. Always wanted to go there but now at 75 years old not happening. I love Porsche's and German Shepherd Dogs and my Grandmother (God rest her soul)was born there.

Went to Hobby Lobby today for the 5620 and they didn't have it. In fact , there wasn'nt even a spot on the display rack for it. I did get the 4030 to try tho. I did read that the 5620 is semi-gloss. My next question, Josh you mentioned it can be wet sanded. I didn't think you could do that with water based acrylic.

And Josh, I forgot to tell you also, great looking Cobra. May I do need to try that clear too.

Thanks Hugh and Josh, I actually mis-quoted on the thinner. I did use the 4012 thinner not 4300. Thanks guys for the extensive help you're providing. I wanna try some more today but have to go off for most of the day?

I did get to do some practicing/experimenting today. I mixed 5ml of the gold and started with 1ml of the 4300 thinner. Before I could get any decent flow with my Paasch HL I had to add another 2ml for a total of 3ml of the thinner to 5 of the paint. It was going pretty good until for what ever reason it wasn't. I kept adding air pressure but still nothing, just air flow, no paint .Just stopped spraying even though I kept cleaning the nozzle and tip. So I decided to change to the #3 tip from the #5. What do ya know, it was spraying good again. I did add a couple more drops of the thinner and some old retarter I had. Also seemed to spray best at 25 psi. Any thoughts on why the paint stopped coming out the air brush even when I cleaned every thing and tried again?

I guess my thinking was to have a specific completed car (i.e. Tri-5 Chevies) in one "gallery", instead of being scattered about in the different sections. Maybe not the right terminology but maybe ya'll get the idea.

A lot of great subtle changes/additions Dann. I'm following along closely. Love the low stance BTW.

Very nice Ludwig, just starting a '71 Cutlass replica using parts from '70 and '72 4-4-2 kits. What paint did you use?

The AutoAir was my first choice but my HobbyLobby didn't have it so I wound up with the regular pearl in the gold I wanted. Today seems like a good day temp and humidity wise to do some more experimenting.

So you've used Createx Hugh?

Steve G you're probably right. It may come to that. But I've started down this Createx road and even if the Cutlass doesn't get painted with the Createx, I'm gonna try some more experimenting with it for now.

What is the color. Which Testors?

It sure has!!!? And yep Dave, gonna start with just thinner.

Thats impressive, looks great.

Dan, if I may ask, what gold paint are you using??
