Hi, this Martin in Tustin CA. I'm building a 1 / 8 scale XKE in red plastic. Have some questions regarding building this model:
Would like to clear coat the body parts over the red factory color. Can you recommend a clear coat finish? How about air brush - is this the way to get the best finish?
Think about the chrome trim and using a chrome pen by Molotov? Is this a good product and is it the best choice? Or better to use adhesive chrome foil?
How about timing of clear coat - before or after the chrome trim?
Whitewall tires - would like to convert the black walls in the kit to wide white walls (which would have been provided in 1961) Do you recommend painting the black walls?
Should this be acrylic and a good brand to use?
Thanks for all the help. Want to make this a nice model, that's been waiting in the box for over 30 years.
Regards,
Martin mjmindlng@gmail.com
