Hondamatic replied to Hondamatic's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
This is one of those clears that you gotta do everything within 2 hours or wait "48" although I think it has to be more I do your method with Mr hobby UV clear, however -
Duplicolor 1k clear
Hondamatic replied to Hondamatic's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I'm afraid of BMF. Ive been using molotow for a while now,, but normally over mr hobby or testors lacquer clear. Maybe one day I'll get fed up and try. Just got back into the hobby last year and been trying to learn and do new things -
Duplicolor 1k clear
Hondamatic replied to Hondamatic's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
So this body was drying for about 4 days, half the time in a dehydrator. I ran some molotow on the inside of the body and it was good, so I painted on the trim and this happened. This 1k stuff is pretty good paint, its just that I can't wait 2 weeks or however long it'll take to do my trim work -

airbrushing nail polish
Hondamatic replied to Paul Payne's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
These cars all all shot with nail polish cut about 50% with lacquer thinner. Here in hawaii its harder to get nice colors, just use a good primer. Tamiya or duplicolor primer sealer works good for me Revlon and CVS brand nail polish seems to lay pretty good. Haven't tried OPI and Essie yet -

Hondamatic replied to Hondamatic's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Car looks good man, I'm really worried about the recoating window, in case I'd have to recoat or repair like you did. Last year I got back into the hobby after a 13 year break and I've been using Mr hobby UV clear and have been really happy with it but wanted to try this stuff. At least I ruined a coke cooler lid instead of a whole body -
This is my 72 Chevy racers wedge converted to a short bed GMC using a Harts parts grille and the old 72 GMC chassis. Pardon the misalignment of the trim between the bed and the cab. It seems like if you line up one thing, something else doesn't. I was pretty close to shaving all the trim off. I just went for something in between
