    So I didn’t see this while clear coating, but noticed it after the 2K was drying for a bit. Did this happen being too impatient between coats or somehow something was on the paint of the hood, and I didn’t notice it or something? Just wanna figure this out for non future mistakes. This actually first time this has happened as well.

    I know I said earlier few pages back my kit funds were low…….and they are, but this deal was too good to pass up on winning bid on eBay. Just the PE alone is worth half what I paid. $58 sold n shipped. Box is a little worn, but kit is fully intact.

    That booth a little lacking far as exhaust power goes, but it may be work okay. Just be sure to have extra window or two open if in closed doors.

    Use to read a lot of this guys stuff back before i got into the hobby. Would actually find his posts just searching on google for specific things. Didn't know him at all, but sucks he's gone. What in the world happened?

    Well when stock runs out I know who to look for ?. I seriously forgot to get one of these, but my model kit funds are dry right now.

    Well my wallet hates me, but these bad boys came in today. I wasn’t expecting them till Monday. All the way from Japan from my favorite Japan hobby shop Plaza Japan. Not my biggest order from them, but the 1/12 Porsche made up half of the order.

    Yeah Scalehobbyist is awesome. I support them a lot.

    Went back out of town, and figured I’d check out HL. They were a disappointment as always. Found these two at hobby town cheap so I snatched them.
  12. Dpate
    What’s your plan with all of these?
  13. Dpate
    Dang the pursuit already out. Hopefully my main shops or hobby lobby gets them.

    Are these 100% new tooling?

    I use a combination of two products when I'm dealing with chrome, and the process works every single time. I use 100% lye that you can buy from Ace hardware, walmart, lowes etc that is what removes the fake chrome that is what is in a lot of these products like "Easy off" 5% lye. The 2nd product i use is something i stubbled on when hunting for a paint remover product, but to my surprise it removes the chrome underlayer varnish with ease. 5-10 mins depending on how thick the varnish is. Sadly it's hard to find, but there is another alternative as well, and a little cheaper as well. It's called Odenkan SC-02 paint remover $10 for 500mL. The picture is of the 2nd product i was talking about.

    These came in today. Already had got the bat pod, but seen they had a 1:18 scale so opted to buy and build this one.

    These came in today. Got 15 bottles of Mr. Hobby 18ml mixing bottles as i didn't wanna use up my tamiya mixing bottles. 3 bottles of different shades of gold, and gaia being the first bottle I've ever owned of there's.

    Now that looks like Rallye green. After relooking through the thread I got mixed up somehow with Steve’s post lol. It’s definitely Rallye green though.

    Looks like fathom green poly to me. That ditzler is old, and the color looks darker than it is.

    New replacement bottle came in today from scalefinishes. Sprays flawlessly, and still can’t figure out what happened to the first bottle. Either way James is the real MVP.
  22. Dpate
    Got these Mr.Colors for custom mixing for other projects.
  23. Dpate
    Sparmax easy choice.

    So after explaining everything to James he’s sending out a new bottle of paint. Great guy and service. Not sure how bad bottle of paint happens, but very rare with his paints as this is the first bottle out of the 60 colors I own from him to be bad.
  25. Dpate
    The 2nd image in the pic is basically what’s happening. Airbrush been spraying perfect from day 1 until I started testing this color out. Also I spray his paints at 20PSI never had an issue either until now. Even tested at 30 PSI, and same thing even with all the new parts. So something must’ve not been mixed right in the paint. But I’ll let James know to see what’s up. First time this has happened with his paints so kinda baffled.
