That sounds interesting Mark and I really hope it works for you! I certainly will be looking forward to seeing the results you get. I’m sure there’s going to be some trial and error learning involved. If you use the same clear as me and brush it on, you won’t need the reducer, however having it thinned down works nicely for some other things like going over small decals with a detail brush to seal them. Also as a note, I never do any sanding on the paint ... only the clearcoat. Not saying it can’t be done, but in my experiences it tends to alter the color slightly where the paint is sanded, and sometimes scratches easily too. ****Edit: Just an FYI...I should probably note for others who are reading this (regarding the non-toxic aspect) that these paints I’m using are not truely non-toxic when sprayed in the air. The manufacturer recommends using a respirator, which I do at times. Also, reguarding my animals, I do not allow them in the same room as me while I’m airbrushing until after any mist in the air has dissipated. I do use an exhaust fan that I built myself that works with probably around 75% effectiveness, but from time to time it creates a little blowback, which is when I put the respirator on. There are, in essence, no fumes, but it is considered a health hazard to inhale the mist, and it can also cause irritation to the eyes and enter your body that way too. -

Craig...I was just checking in to see where you were on these, and they’re both DONE! ...kinda blown away by that. They really look super nice. All your detail work is well done ... paint, decals and all. The blue and white were great choices and they look good together. Did you do the paint over BMF trick on the rear Pontiac letters? Ps, really like your shop diorama as well! The hoop leaning up and the engine block etc.?

?Yeah, that’s exactly how you do it!

Thanks for looking Trevor ... I think I may have just scored on the decals ... we shall see. Haha, thanks Kurt. Yeah, the water base is really only so I can be non toxic ... something me and the cats both appreciate.. and yes, well..more like grey swirl.? -

Thanks a bunch Trevor! It’s starting to look like I’ll probably be going with #CSX2300, or #CSX2601 (Nürburgring #54 car). It will depend on whether or not I can get the correct decals that I’m lacking for #CSX2300... There’s also a possibility I will do a #98 tribute version in my own tastes. Who knows ????
