I have quit using Rustoleum paint for that reason. Last incident, I primed and used a grey paint for a circle track chassis and roll cage. Still tacky weeks later, so back in the box it went and used the paint cans for targets.

Wow. Resin kits apparently went WAY up?
Shark replied to Brutalform's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
To me the words rare and obsolete mean nothing in the resin business. Any good caster could take a "rare" piece and re-pop it and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. -
Really enjoyed looking at your recent projects. I mainly build circle track stuff, but after seeing all the nice Moebius AWB cars on the forum lately, think I need to get one or two.

Likewise. He is a good historian of the sport. Nice builds there. What do you use for tire lettering?

Awesome color

I think your "attempt" turned out quite well.

Shark replied to R. Thorne's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
That's kind of strange, I have used Mr Surfacer (grey) under Tamiya spray before. I did notice your primer is a different variation than the one I use. Don't know if that's the problem, maybe someone else can shed some light on that. Could your primer be old? -
Nice clean build. Funny how some time goes by and you forget about certain cars. I guess it's called getting older.

Did you clear coat the color shift paint?

Recommendation for best liquid mask?
Shark replied to Monty's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
The few liquid masks I have seen cautioned against using lacquer paint. -
Removing CA glue from clear plastic . . . .
Shark replied to Glassparman's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I'm just old school, rarely use CA glue for anything model related. Just doesn't give me enough time. Plus it can "frost" parts. As mentioned above, I use canopy glue. Tape the glass part in with masking tape and glue the untaped areas. After removing the tape, run some more canopy glue if needed. -
Mark is correct, I have several of those kits

Whoa time warp 1970s.
Shark replied to James Maynard's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I remember them in the $2 plus range. Used to mow yards for $4 or $5 and go buy a model car and some paint. -

Shark replied to R. Thorne's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
You said the black paint job will be a do over, be careful with what you strip it with as some resins don't have a reaction to purple stuff and other chemicals. -

Shark replied to R. Thorne's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
Nice looking resin body, you must have had it awhile, seems the times I have looked at their site, most everything is out of stock. Always interested in any WIP on an AWB. -

I like what you did there. Where did you get the sleeper or did you scratch build it. -
Check with Slixx decals, they may have something
