Thanks guys. She’s the one that picked out the color because of the first picture of it over a white base. I accidentally did it over a black base, and it turnt out much darker, but thankfully she ended up liking it. I told her the same thing that it’s gonna look really good with a 2K clear coat on it. It’s certainly a unique color for a 65 impala lol, and with the black chromed out interior, and exterior it should pop.

Well ordered dispade color from scalefinises awhile back carbon steel Pearl. Finally got around to using it along with the black base he gave me. So after using the color, instead of it looking like the first pic it turnt out like u see in all the other pics. No clear coat yet so it’ll look much better, but this car isn’t for me. I asked my girl if she liked this look a lot better than the original look (over white base, not black). In my head I’m like sigh gonna have to strip, and redo everything. But she actually said it looked good, and that I didn’t have to change it. So win win I suppose.

Plaza Japan is the best I think you’ll get. I order from them all the time, and their packaging is really good. The shipping is little high, but worth it considering most of the kits in the state that are $40+ you can get from them like $13-20$. I only order from them when I do big orders because of the shipping. They do Japan post, fedex, and DHL. DHL is the best, but shipping costs more.

This gorgeous thang came in today. Rebox of lindburg. This might be my goal for it, and the rims look littler better than the spoke rims, but I’m not sure wha type of rims those are. Not sure yet still deciding. But from what I’ve been looking up it looks more like the Victoria. Didn’t know there was different versions of the same car.

Good white primer Mr surfacer 1500 or Tamiya white primer. Even pink primer would work good too. Id recommend use water n 3000K grit to sand the primer nice and smooth, and then go for the color coat. 3M has 3K grit pads you can get from Walmart or any automotive store, and worth every penny too $6 will last long time. I wouldn’t recommend Vallejo or ammo for doing a car body, and wouldn’t recommend Tamiya hybrid either. If you have to use Tamiya use their lacquer line up either aerosol or air brush 10ml bottles. Leagues better than their hybrid line up, and even the color pigment is better.

My son got his first tractor

The more coats of the revell the longer it’ll take to dry. Id let it dry for a good day or so just to be safe.

There’s a lot of info missing from your topic. Do you want information about aerosol cans or airbrush? What type of finish are you currently getting? What white paint are you using? White isn’t the easiest of colors to do as it’s…white.

These came in today. The gray scale goes up to 90% just didn’t feel like i would need it.

Did the best I could hear as the spoon has been through the works since last pics. But if I had the proper blue base it would look even better like the C1 picture. From Tamiya & aoshima kit. This spoon was just Tamiya light pearl blue l, and cheap Mr hobby clear 46. With the proper metallic blue, and even better clear coat it would look like the C1 pic.

It’s this stuff here. Hard to find, but similar to C1 metal powder. Even they have a pic on there site with it over a metallic light blue, and looks like the real deal. The bumper was gloss black before applying the powder. Thought it would have brightened up like my last tests, but instead got black chrome. That’s when I decided to try the blue. Think gunmetal color would work as a base too. The stuff is crazy durable by the way. Looks like graphite powder, but this is some how electroplating powder like C1 is.

So I did another test with powder, and I know this isn’t revell but yeah. I did test over light pearl blue by Tamiya with clear coat. Only blue I had, but the results are a brighter chrome look. If you’re wanting a black chrome just check out this bumper I now got to redo lol. Top of the spoon was left white, but it didn’t chrome up too good.

Model car garage sells a vinyl top kit black or white that will give you the best look you’ll get other than using textured paint say from MCW etc. You can get the kits for like $8 they’re legit. You can get them from MCG direct or places like model round up etc. Faux spray could work too, and can be paired any color afterwards using enamel.

Thanks for the info. Yeah not worried about 100% factory specs just thought the color looked good on it, and wanted to figure out what it was. The fernmist green seems to be the one especially by the color pic MCW has of it.

What in the world is this green color? Site just says green, but I can’t find anything similar to it for this car.

Some chrome powder mgm. This stuff is bonkers.

Got some more metal transfers from scaleriders. Didn’t have these yet, and the red oxide primer is for older cars.

Got mine from new type it’s by dspiae. They’ve recently came out with a new one, but it’s pricy at $100+.

IMO..The overall style & appeal. Every time I see older vehicles on the road I always break my neck to look. Same with music the old days did it right. But with modern least it has 10 air bags I suppose ?‍♂️.

Just look these up on Amazon next you decide to get any. There currently $9.99, and same ones I got just box is different. Just be safe, and extra cautious with xacto blade handle rolling etc. Also the package they come in save so when your blade is done just pop it back in so it can be disposed properly.

They look like ya everyday xacto blade, but maybe they might perform like surgical blades even though they look like regular blades, but do look pretty close. Hard to tell in the packaging a little bit.

When you’re done with those get these, and the bottom image is what the blades look like. Can be clipped to use in regular handles. $8-9 a box.

Got the dash halfway done still got some detail painting to do round center trim, but this is what I got done so far. Looks alright. BMF chrome top and BMF matte aluminum bottom. The matte aluminum is pretty bad to work with.

So I did a small comparison on an old piece with spaz stix. Spaz stix on the right, and revell chrome on the left along with the issue I’ve been having with it. Used a .2 for this test, but the revell issue stays the same with any size. It can be easy to overcome on large parts etc, but with bumbers or grills it’s an issue. It’s an issue because the over spray creates that silver frost causing you to go back over it, and then before you know it details are flooded. So probably best to just keep the revell canned unless I’m just doing something completely wrong. But if the junk piece was prepped properly spaz stix would look even better done over AK satin enamel gloss black. Spaz stix is amazing stuff, and $13 a bottle, and very durable, and done right it’s the tits man. This was baked @115f for 10mins, and I was able to buff the dust off.

This beautiful thang just came in.
