Wow... way to resurrect an old thread! Impressive bunch of photographs that are interesting to look at, and thought provoking too.

Ok, thanks for verifying guys?

Just testing to see if I know how to link this: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/156909-chrome-vinyl-details-from-scratch/ Ok, looks like it worked...I think

What a great and wonderful fur ball! ...Just hangin’ out and chillaxin’

Thanks Ray. The paint is always such a major step that I’m glad to get out of the way... so many things can go wrong that aren’t easy to fix. Yep, it’s good stuff... Or what???

Dude...you are the movie guru! I was sure I was going to have to give another quote.... it’s a great movie! That first quote was one of the teachers speaking during their first board meeting

No way man!

Well, I finally got the clearcoat done, or should I say polishing? These next pics show how poorly the clearcoat laid down when spraying... When I noticed it laying down rough, rather than freaking out, I just started laying on more and more coats. Past experience with this clear gave me the assurance that it would be saveable as long as I was patient with my sanding/polishing, and whattaya’ know...it paid off. After some tedious wet sanding, I hand polished with Meguiar’s Scratch-X, and then a final hand buffing with Turtle Wax Super Hard Shell. This is a perfect example of how workable this clear is... but believe me, I’m glad it’s done! There is a small blemish on the hood cowling which I’ll be able to easily fix with some brush-on clear ....Overall I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. Here is the clear and reducer I used.

very hardcore combo

Good work and nice attention to detail Mark..keep it up ....Yeah I guess Hobby Lobby just wants us to order our stuff from online stores instead of going to them.? It will be their loss.

Let me know when you need a third quote

It does sound kinda familiar, but I’m really not much of a movie buff ... so I give up? Here’s another quote from the same movie of the previous quote.... “You’re not even breathing hard you’re hurrying home so fast.”

Mark, I like how it’s all coming together with the scratch work. Did you scratch that alternator bracket also? That’s some pretty fine detail!

Okay, you asked for it ..... Dig deep. ”This may not be the right time to say this, but .... I’m sorry, but I won’t be coming back after Christmas. I got a job with aerospace.”

Ok, now I’m thinking the internet makes it too easy to look these quotes up ... I’ll make sure my next one’s a lot harder.

“We’re not gonna’ forget this if that’s what you’re thinking ....this is big time baby.”

All burned up....

Exactly my point!

Hilarious!?... and btw, that cat painting picture you posted is one of my most favorites ever.
