whats a good flowing rubber this oomoo30 stuff is too thick and not really all that great. im willing to give the 10:1 stuff a try but i need something with a more creamier consistency so that it gets all the details.

i mustve built this car ages ago but its a alpina beamer with fujimi wheels he original paint was silver graphite. the new paint job is tamiya clear over the original color i also added detail to the tailights and wheels(after photo) it was a basic rebuild.if youre wondering where the mirrors went back then i owned way more cars than i do now and mirrors took up too much shelf space so i never added them and eventually lost them.

after

Brian, there are a few things I can tell you about Tamiya and there clears since I've used them from time to time on interiors and such.
First, Tamiya makes a very nice dullcoat which you can mix in with their paint. You can make a semi gloss sheen all the way to something totally flat. As Bob mentioned, you can use Testor's dullcoat.......but I would put on very light coats at a time.
You can airbrush Tamiya's clear over their acrylics, but I would highly recommend thoroughly drying their paints in a dehydrator before doing so. (About 8 hours)
Failure to do this will result in cracking of the paint underneath and the clearcoat and you will not be a happy camper!
While some have used plain alcohol in thinning their paint............I have always had trouble with the paint "fisheyeing". I would recommend using their thinner as I've had no problem with it at all.
When using thinner in their clear be careful not to use too much as it can fisheye when airbrushing. (See my Mustang thread)
I have found that using a bit higher pressure with the compressor helps atomize it a bit better.
Hope this helps Brian and post pics of the results!
what PSI do you recomend and what psi do you recomend for future

Still not feelin' the big wheels, but the foil and the paintwork on the interior really bring it to life - nice work!

but it has big wheels. i got this 78 monaco at a show a year or longer ago. didnt do much with it i bough it cause its such a cool car i figure when i get around to it illl make a lowrider. then the highrider phase came and i swapped the pegasus wires for these 26s. it sat for a few months before last night when i decided time to do something about it. so i polished the plastic added some foil and highlit the trim. the interior was completety repainted with a mix of buff,earth, and dk brown.
