Are you supposed to use enamel or lacquer gloss black for alclad? Where is alclad sold? I have never tried it, but I am very interested to try it out. Oh and does it have to be thinned or just sprayed as is? Does it have to be polished afterwards or does it lay down nearly perfect? EDIT: I just found a place that sells it in my city and ###### it's expensive $13 for an oz. Does this stuff go fast? I mean would an oz be enough to lets say spray a 1/24 car? Do you need to use a lot of it to get the desired effects? One or more layers? Sorry for the dumb questions but I'm curious

Thanks guys. I will investigate the klean strip thinner. I guess for now I will try using the testors thing

Can anyone name some of good lacquer thinner brands and if possible pictures of what I'm supposed to look like? I'm sorry that I'm asking for too much, but I don't wanna buy the wrong thing again.

I finally got some duplicolor sandable primer in black and tried using it. Looks like a nice even flat black paint. I'm really considering leaving the car in primer (I wanted to paint it flat black anyways). Will the paint (primer) chip or fade? Looks nice, but I'm not sure whether the primer is durable enough to serve as the top (and bottom lmao) coat. Anyone ever leave your cars in primer?

The other day I bought some testors enamel cleaner and after checking their website for proper thinning ratio I noticed they also have "airbrush thinner". So I'm just wondering if this stuff is safe to use for an airbrush, or is it just for cleaning the brush? Btw the intent is to thin testors enamel paint so I could airbrush it properly. This is the picture of the product in question. Thanks in advance.

Today I saw more or less the same car with the same or very similar paintjob and decals.

Today I bought some testors enamel thinner and I noticed on testors website that there is also "testors airbrush thinner". I'm just wondering whats the difference between them and can I use this for airbrushing, or is it just for brush painting and cleaning the brush? This is the picture of what I bought

First of all I don't believe you, you need more people. Second of all anything with a large enough turbo can pull crazy horsepower numbers. Third of all why is it that theres always someone in every car forum trying to say that so and so type of car is better than the other. Who cares? People have different taste in cars. Some like new cars, some like old... I personally like a mostly every kind of cars. This whole "my car is better than yours" over the internet is stupid. If you live in North America muscle cars are more available than JDM and Euro cars. If you live in Europe than obv Euro cars are easier to come by than muscle cars... Let's stop with the whole "muscle beats rice every time" or "euro is the way to go, muscle suck". Please people grow up. Anyways back on topic, that is a nice AE86 and this forum should be about good looking models, not which car is the fastest.

I keep seeing the name future on here a lot. What does it do exactly? How do you use it? Do you spray it or just clean the surface with or do I dip the whole body in it?

Wow that is clean if I say so myself haha

WOW I need me that kit asap

Wow you are very skilled

Beautiful engine and great job

Nice paintjob

Amazing paintjob

Thats certainly unique

Thats giving me ideas about how I should build my model A pick up

Something tells me you like skylines lmao

That grill is amazing

Very nice

Beautiful work. What kind of kit is that ford truck?

Rat rod indeed

Can't believe I failed to notice it was supposed to be a Willys. I thought that Ford looked a bit off. Lmao two of (many) fav cars and I couldnt notice it. Never though of it, but mixing the two makes perfect sense visually.

Does duplicolor come in white primer as well? I take it that pretty much any dupli-color and plasti-kote primers are suitable for models. For some reason I thought automotive primer would be too thick for the thin details of models. Thanks guys.

Speaking of polishing, is there a particular brand of cloths or sand paper I should look into? How fine is it supposed to be? What grid #?
