It looks much better. If that gloss holds up during the curing process I'll be a happy camper. I'm sure a lot of the gloss will fade as it cures but at this point I'm satisfied. Thanks dude. Does this hold true for the paint as well....get it on wet?

From the advise from a fellow on this forum I sprayed it again and put a couple more really wet coats on. If this holds up once it cures it would be great.

Ok. It's good and wet. I was afraid to spray anymore as it looked like it wan't to run. Feels like the spray can it getting pretty empty. Whatya think now???

You think maybe one good wet coat?

K. It has been curing for about 1 1/2 hrs. Can I spray it again wetter???

I have my 65 Impala test body painted before I repaint the Nova. I airbrushed the Tamiya X-7 Red yesterday morning and about an hour ago I sprayed it with the Tamiya TS-13. I sprayed all this in my makeshift paint booth. I'm looking for options on my next step. Wet sand or just polish? It still looks a little rough to me.

Ok.....I sprayed 5 coats of the Tamiya TS-13 over the Tamiya X-7 Red on the Impala test body. These pics or roughly 1 hr after I sprayed the TS-13. What do you fellows think??? The finish still seems a little rough looking to me. Should I wet sand or just polish with Novus?

I wet sanded the body and polished it with Novus. It came out a little better but not to my liking. It's now in the drink.

Looking good.

Tom the seem is noticeable on the bottom as well just not as bad. Lesson learned fellows. Still in the learning mode.

Thanks for the tip Greg. Well.....I wet sanded the Nova with 4000, 6000, and 12,000 then polished it with Novus 2. It took a lot of the imperfections out but I didn't like the way that it looked so it's in the drink as we speak. I have the 65 Impala test body curing that I painted yesterday with the Tamiya acrylic paint. I'll be spraying the Tamita TS-13 this afternoon hoping for some good results. If this doesn't turn out satisfactory to me then I'm at my wits end and don't know what to try next if anything.

The green looks pretty kewl Tom and the stance is killer. Still trying to get the paint worked out on my 66.

Mike, Your on easy street compared to what I've been going through.

Nice options to think about.

Very nice. Love the slick black paint. I went back and watched the video. Nice work LIN.

Looking good. I like the color. Compact car like a Henry J. Would make a good ole school Gasser.

Thanks for the info Lee.

peteski, it's mine. I just got into modeling about 3 months ago so didn't even think about it. What is a good putty to use to fill cracks, dents, etc.?

Hey Mike.....how you doing on that double nickel?

I like it. Black turned out fine. Love the ole Flatheads.

Nice. I use the Rust-Oleum 2X primer. This is the magnifying glass I use.

K. I just airbrushed some of the Tamiya acrylic for the first time and bought a can of the TS-13 to try. Care to share how you sprayed the TS-13? How long of a flash time between coats etc.

That looks pretty shape dude. Great build.

Really nice looking. Great job. Love the engine detail.

Love the old school look. Nice.
