heres an idea
go get a cheap kit that you could care less about
strip the parts you could use for something else
then use the body to test your idea on
fins,wheels,lights,foil,interior detail,cabinet lines are all there
theres the spot i need to fill
wanted to paint badly got to ancy and didnt think
i'll be able to pull it off though
well i sprayed the clear over the foil
and got the fins(not pictured) and rear door to match
plus i have gotten some work done on it
so check it out
with flash
without flash
front
back
rear door
top
interior front
PART 2 OF PAINT
DONE
PART 1 OF FOILING
DONE
heres where she stands now
next is to finish painting the back door then foil it
spray clear AGAIN to hold the foil
then detail work
followed by final assembely
check your automotive paint supply house i think for $40.00 you can get a pint of flake
and yes i mix flake in with the production paint
krylon never comes with flake
UPDATE
got the first color layed down
earlier 9:00
10 mins ago
tomorrow i shall goto the paint shop to get masking tape
then comes the white with peril
there is no chance of me having a closet queen here
i got another kit exactly the same as the ones you sent
i dont know what im going to do to it yet but it will be built
i do it but i kinda like doing the black first and then the silver
kinda like real life car painting
to me it looks better then just sprayin silver then the metallics
the silver seems to pop more with black as a base coat
thanks bro
i should be able to lay some paint down hopefully tomorrow
granted the weather and other things work with me
so stay tuned this one will be good
check it george 53 heres whats going on with one of the kits you sent me
ok since its hella cold here and thinking of raining i did this
its the amt version of ecto 1a in which i have three of :biggrin:
heres a lowrider 59 caddy ambulance
i cut every cabinet that was molded into the rear and scrath built these
i shaved and filled the roof except the light bar brackets,siren horn holes,and the sequential light holes in the back
and here it is in mock up stage needs bigger white walls
