I am working on a 71' Cyclone nascar and it will be red white and blue. White is the overall color with red and white sections. What kind of tape can I use for masking the different colors that will nice crisp lines? I found some Pactra trim tape at home, will that give me crisp lines? What about fine line tape for masking? Thanks.

Testors enamels directly over plastic, without primer?
GMP440 replied to kerc's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
Always primer the model car body prior to your topcoat. I like using laquer based primers such as Duplicolor or Plasticote when I'm using imron, centauri and other types of paint. If you just spray on bare plastic body there will always be a chance for adhesion problems with the topcoat. -
Where Can I Get Plasticoat Primer?
GMP440 replied to Count Dragula's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
Duplicolor and Plasticote primers are the same. Down here in Florida, a lot of auto parts stores quit carrying Plasticote brand. You only find Duplicolor. I have used both brands for years and there is no difference between the two. -

The 68' Coronet R/T. We almost had it re-released back in June. However, it was cancelled. Dissappointed alot of modelers. -

Revell 69 Nova. Can This Be True?
GMP440 replied to Len Woodruff's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Great news on the 69' Chevy Nova. But, do we need another 57' Chevy? That horse has been beat to death for so many years. How about a 68' or 69' Dodge Coronet R/T? -
The taillights are chromed. Instead of just brushing turn signal red over the lense part I was thinking about triming and fitting clear red thin plastic instead. The clear plastic I was thinking about using are those that are used for file tabs that slide on. Anyone ever do this? Thanks. George Petrillo

Forgot to tell you. You can order the paint directly from Plastikote(Valspar). I had the problem not finding any retailers that carried Plastikote. I called up their customer service department and they told me I could order the paint right over the phone and they would ship it to me. You should try that.

Don't feel bad if you don't find it A lot of automotive parts stores in my area dropped the Plasticote line for the Duplicolor. I live in the South Florida area.

It's a nice change to just only to have to put the wheels on, etc.
