I started this build about two weeks ago & here is where I’m at on it now. I’ve pretty much got the chassis all done just waiting to repaint the lower 1/2 of the body & the interior panels/seats. I might of been closer to done but had an issue with the paint that caused me to strip everything down to bare plastic again.

Thanks for listing those brands. I actually do have an airbrush that I picked up at Harbor freight, a little cheapie one. I have not used it yet because I’m unfamiliar with airbrush. Mainly the only thing holding me back is not knowing how and when to mix or rather dilute paints. I hope to mess with it soon.

First time using tamiya primer. This stuff sure does spray pretty nice, looks to be superior to rustoleum for sure! I’ll probably continue using it in the future though I’m not crazy about the price. Here’s a picture I took after spraying with it.

thanks peteski. I always forget which are which with tamiya. I’m going to hobby town hopefully tomorrow to pick some up.

Peteski do you know which of the tamiya paints is for model kits?

I see, lol at the banging head comment?

Thanks fellas, I think I will try a different paint like the ones suggested though I don’t think the paint/primer could of been to hot(80 degree day, paint stored in a room temp garage)either way I don’t think I’ll reuse the previously used stuff. Ill post some pics of it once I get it all resprayed though it may be a little while as it’s a two tone.✌? ps my apologies on the darkened letters, I’m not to sure how I did that.

I primed & painted my revell 54 Chevy sedan(1985 release). The primer and color coat laid down nicely on the body but not so on the hood or interior panels. When I sprayed the latter they wrinkled up or crazed. I assumed it was the paint but after having removed it in purple power it seems the plastic itself had a reaction to the paints. The actual plastic has the crazing lines in it. They were fine with the primer. It wasn’t till I sprayed the color coat that they wrinkled/crazed. Any one have this happen before or know why?Primer coat on both was rustoleum black primer. Color coat on hood was rustoleum gloss black, color coat on seats was an old can of krylon tan.
