I really like this one. Really clean looking eye candy.

Nice looking 56. Love all the detail work. I like it.

Nice looking Shelby michelle. I painted a 67 Nova with Rust-Oleum primer and top coat. Came out pretty well.

Nice build. The red and tan go together so well. Just a pretty car.

What a nice Impala. The erra of the rocket with those big fins. Colors are great and detailing looks pretty darn good to me.

It took me a while but I finially got a paint process that seems to be working for me. No painting on rainy days, let the humidity droop below 70% before painting, if the wind is not calm, use the makeshift paint booth, light coats & flash time. I'm still working on the process but I'm 80% there.

Thanks fellows. I found that if I hold my breath while doing paint detailing with a toothpic it tends to come out better. Don't know if I can hold my breath long enough on those long runs with the bmf ☺ Going for the vent windows this morning.

Thanks Rusty.

Welcome James.

Welcome aboard Nesdon. Bunch of good ole boys & gals here.

Welcome back Bob.

This is really shaping up to be a nice build. Good work.

Good looking 32

Thanks Chaz

That tan interior looks good James.

Flip a coin Mike ☺

I got some bmf put on around the front and rear windows. Second time for bmf and man is it nerve racking. Turned out ok.

Now that looks pretty kewl. Nice build.

All the ads are back in full. Hard to maneuver around the site without having a full page ad pop up every time you click on something.

All those full page ads are back again.

Really nice looking cars and so well kept.

The HUGH ads are back again.

I'm another one that's not really into Mopar's but your build is looking pretty kewl.

Looking pretty clean on the undercarriage Mike.

David, I have been fighting this same issue since I got back into the hobby a few months ago. I have tried air brushing various brand craft paints and Tamiya arcylic paints, Rust-Oleum rattle cans, and finially Tamiya lacquer rattle cans. Around here the humidity is a little to high early in the morning so I wait until about 9-10 and on a sunny day the humidity is normall below 65%. If it is not a calm day I use my makeshift spray booth outside and for me it does help with the orange peel. I think on windy days I tend to spray it to heavy creating the orange peel. For me.....I have gotten the best results using Tamiya lacquer rattle cans and Tamiya TS-13 clear or Rust-Oleum 2X Gloss Clear. The results seem to be the same with both clears. With the lacquer paint I spray two light coats letting is flash 15-20 between coats. I spray a 3rd and maybe a 4th coat to make sure I have it all covered. Same with the clear, except the last coat I keep the model moving and spray until it gets a very wet look. Be careful as there is a fine line between wet and running. Depending on the outcome I usually just polish with Novus products and Meguiar's Mirror Glaze. If it does have a little orange peel I'll wet sand a little. I try not to wet sand if at all possible. That's just me. The 60 Chevy pickup I just painted and polished the other day. I'm sure others will have different takes on this but like I said, this is what I have found that works the best for me.
