  1. Not sure if I would switch from my airbrush to rattle cans. I've sprayed craft paints & Testors through my Paasche H and I've used Rust-Oleum and Tamiya rattle cans. I use the Rust-Oleum 2X gray primer pretty much all the time as it seems to lay down smoother that any other I've used. I've used the Tamiya TS rattle cans (lacquer) and really like the way the paint goes down. I don't mind the cleanup to much.
  2. That's a kewl looking kit and a good start. Love those Gassers. I'll be watching this one.
  3. Looking really good so far. You going to hit it with a couple more coats of the TS-13 after you apply the decals?
  4. Great looking Pontiac. Nice detail work.
  5. Welcome to the forum.
  6. Man.....your 55 is taking on an additude. looking good.
  7. Still a little confused as to why this part would be included in the kit with no mention of it or any other parts to attach it if you would to use it.
  8. Thanks for the info Paul.
  9. Ok fellows need a little help. I'm looking on the tree at the parts for the wheels and I see this square piece that I can't identify. Doesn't seem to have a number or no mention of it in the instructions.
  10. Gad it worked out Edwin.
  11. I just did the spoon test Snake spoke of. I don't know what clear your planning on using but I used Rust-Oleum Clear Gloss Enamel and Acrylic Lacquer. I polished each spoon with Novus 2 before spraying the clear. This was after one coat. I applied two coats (heavy) and the results were still the same. It gave it a somewhat of a dull finish. Hope this helps.
  12. I like the lime green. Nice build.
  13. Nice looking Charger. That black looks pretty good.
  14. Really nice looking Funny Car. The pics make it look like a 1:1.
  15. Thanks Kurt. It will more than likely never see the light of day so I think I'm good to go there.
  16. Welcome to the forum Malcolm.

    Like Ray said......Look Kustom.
  19. Good looking Oldsmobile. Nice job.
  20. That's looking pretty sharp there Jacob. Nice job on the weathering.
  21. Thanks fellows. Back on track of painting coilovers, if I would have black wash them, would lacquer thinner on a Q-tip have taken the paint off the springs after the paint had dried or do you need to get after it pretty quick?
  22. Welcome Brian.
  23. Welcome Daiel.
  24. Nice job. Years ago my father in-law owned and operated and automotive shop called Arrow Engine Service. He specialized in Volkswagen and would have loved this.
