  1. Wheels are poor, I brushed Tamiya smoke on, flat black in pockets. May try dechroming and go body color.
  2. Final paint no clear Spice Red
  3. My C8 build will be the Elkhart green from the 1972 color chart.
  4. Looks stellar like RedMist metallic.
  5. I clean /sand the body, gloves on, wash with Dawn , rinse, dry , inspect, no primer, mix acrylic color, spray 22 psi, 4 coats, leave overnight. I live in a multi person place so I have to use acrylics (no smell). When it comes to airbrushes, gravity feed only, remember 1:1 cars dont get painted with siphon feeds.
  6. Thats what I use, but I think its spatter from airbrush. I just went over it with less psi seemed to cover.
  7. New airbrush Testing my patience vs spray cans
  8. Dont matter now, its scattered out in my yard.
  9. Why does pure water work but 2 drops of paint in the same water....nothing, 22psi or 50 psi! Gravity feeds only.
  10. I fixed it, went out side and used my bat to launch it into pieces, garbage siphon feeds
  11. Vevor brand 8mm 1.5 bar/22psi Vent hole clear Cleaned and checked every piece, only waterlike mix works, tried more psi, same
  12. Here's one for the airbrush pros. I have a new siphon feed airbrush for larger areas but it won't spray. So I tried straight water, sprays fine. Then thinned out acrylic paint , 60% water, won't spray. It will only spray at 90% water 10% paint????
  13. Here's my chassis I had a long day in the sun and put the rear diff/suspension in before exhaust so...bullets with dumps. The engine looks ok. Not sure if I'll add the red fenders. As for body color??? Orange? White? Red?
  14. I use paint charts from the past, better colors but vintage . Check the 68-72 chevy colors.
  15. Pontiac to be proud of Good tune as well
  16. You keep up with the dukes newsfeed
  17. Im going to rewatch the entire series...minus the Vance and Coy episodes
  18. Here's my latest kit, $12. I am dechroming the bumpers. Im going for a What if Oldsmobile did the Rallye 350 monochromatic option on the 442 but other colors. I'm thinking black but please give ideas. Thanks
