You got the new improved? Did you order directly from them or from other online sites? Id order directly from them so you’d get the new stuff, because other online sources probably still have old stock.

Good tip. I actually thought about this before as I have ton of different size Ferrules for car audio- just never thought it through.

Definitely good on the brain. Really keeps your mind centered and focused. Lego also is good as well, and it’s amazing some of the work both model kit, and Lego that folks scratch build. I started in the hobby late as I turn 34 in two days, and only been in the hobby bout two years or so. I’m hoping my son who’s 4 years old gets into the hobby when he gets older. Right now he loves taking things apart, and putting it back together no matter what it is. He will ask for a screwdriver faster than he will a juice bottle lol.

Never seen this style paint job on a car, but you did great my guy. Hats ? off to ya. I use Alclad black gloss base the one that a lot of people think is a primer lol. I dry it in the dehydrator @ 110f. But I’ve seen folks mention it before where you spray the chrome few mins after the gloss black base instead of waiting for the black base to fully cure, and then spraying the chrome on top. It’s a technique wet on wet or something like that I’ve read about some painters do with top coat and clear coat.

Never used it as a mask as I use Tamiya tape for that. But to remove the residue I use this product, and works perfect on clear parts as well to remove residue. This one bottle will last a life time lol.

I’ve been to a goodwill store before, and never found any kits. Been too few thrift stores, but won’t ever go back - because they stunk, and everything looked like trash. I was telling myself who in the world is buying this trash?

That could work too didn’t think of that

Sweet! thank you gentlemen for helping.

Must of had some of the old stuff. They got the hood stuff back new improved chrome, and it work’s fantastic. Great to work with ??

Sorry forgot to post the pic. Okay thank you.

Sounds reasonable, but how would I attach it to this part in the pic? Drill hole same size at the back of the rod or cut off the wheel back attachment part, and just glue it on?

I’ll be doing the Foose 65 Chevy impala for a friend eventually, and she wants aftermarket rims instead of the Foose versions. These are the rims & tires and specs. Not sure how big the rims and tires are that came with the Foose kit as my caliper broke. These Pegasus wheels use the metal bar as an insert and the Foose version isn’t set up for that. So how would I use the custom inner wheel part from the kit with the Pegasus wheels? First time doing something like this. I think the Pegasus set would fit with no clearance issues, just not sure how to install them. Should I get these as well to go with them? The rims are T23’s Inner Diameter: 18mm Outer Diameter: 26mm Width: 11mm

Going basic on this one no scribed panels etc. But got one side foiled so far.

Well that clear is a soft clear as it’s not 2K. So you have to be careful, and use around 2-3K RPMs. I use these for polishing clear, the attachment part in the pic isn’t showing the 1/8 shank you’ll need for it to work with a dremel. Black pads can be use for wax as the black pads have no cut, and yellow is medium cut, and orange course cut. I use meguiers cleaner wax & ultimate compound for 2K.

Never owned a ninja foodie, but have owned their coffee makers. It’ll probably work just fine since it has that feature, but you use it for food etc? I’d def consider getting a separate one. But I bake my paint at 110f and never have had an issue, and I’ve done 120f before and never had an issue. I can cure 2K clear in bout 4 hours. One I own is called Klarstein off Amazon, and can usually be got for around $80+.

I love Tamiya paints, but very seldom use there colors on car bodies. I use there semi-gloss black a ton as it’s the best I’ve seen, and there metallics are nice too all from the LP line. Slowly getting rid of the X line up.

MCW is an automotive paint, and Tamiya TS & LP is not. Yes both lacquer, but different techniques use to spray both. Not saying you don’t know what you’re doing as I had issues with one of there interior colors. Could be a bad batch? Did you test it again on a test piece or spoon to see if same thing would happen? I know MCW uses low quality thinner too, but I think you should try first couple mist coats, and do the rest light wet coats. Did your order come with instructions?

This came in today for the Kenworth W-900. Gonna use these on the new dump truck.

For me it would be the same as my Lego hobby. Following directions, and watching it come to life as you build -While ending up with great display pieces. That since of pride like yes…I built that, Painting is also the great part of it as well. Since I’ve been in the hobby i always look at other car colors on the road, and if something catches my eye I look it up. I Never done that before until I’ve gotten into this hobby. Also just cleaning up a kit, and getting it ready for primer & paint just has that feeling to it that’s kind of hard to explain.

If you want Tamiya LP lacquer line & Mr. Hobby lacquer line, and Mr. Surfacer line then Burbank house of hobbies, and scalehobbyist is the cheapest. If you want automotive paints well…..isn’t really a cheap way out. There’s quite a few already mentioned in the thread, but they aren’t the cheapest… but there some of the best you’ll get even gravity colors (Spain). I never understood why a lot of folks spend crazy money on something, and cheap out on what they need to get it done. Example high end speakers, etc just to cheap out on wiring. Don’t get me wrong it’ll work, but quality isn’t the same. P.S This is me thinking out loud nothing towards you OP.

We never stop learning. One man’s lesson learned is another man’s knowledge.

These arrived today. Typical revell & AMT quality.

Probably work on it sometime. Finally got my moving situation sorted. It’s definitely gonna be BMF heavy.

This came in today. Got it cheap, and box is damage, but all parts were sealed n great condition.

I have a similar cabinet I got from Amazon. I use it to store sandpaper, Tamiya tape etc. Probably be upgrading in the near future for a nicer one wider like yours.
