I do like the aluminum. Sprays on nice and thin, covers well. I wish their other paint did as well, and I wish they had other metal colors like iron and stainless that worked as well as the aluminum.

Already there. "Can I use Rustoleum on a model car?" AI Overview Learn more While you can technically use Rust-Oleum spray paint on model cars, many model builders strongly discourage it due to the paint's aggressive solvents and thick application, which can damage fine details and lead to a less-than-ideal finish compared to using dedicated model paints. Here's a more detailed breakdown: Reasons Why Rust-Oleum Might Not Be Ideal for Model Cars: Solvent Issues: Rust-Oleum paints contain strong solvents that can react negatively with the plastic used in model kits, causing warping or dissolving of the plastic. Thick Application: Rust-Oleum is designed for heavy-duty applications, so it sprays thick, which can obscure fine details and require extensive sanding to achieve a smooth finish. Difficulty to Work With: The thick, aggressive nature of Rust-Oleum makes it harder to control and apply smoothly compared to dedicated model paints, which are formulated for fine details and thin layers. Compatibility Issues: Rust-Oleum paints may not be compatible with other types of paints or finishes commonly used on model cars. Alternatives for Model Car Paint: Dedicated Model Paints: Brands like Tamiya, Testors, or Model Master offer a wide variety of paints specifically designed for model kits, with thin, smooth formulations and easy application. Acrylic Paints: Acrylic paints are a popular choice for model car painting because they are easy to work with, quick-drying, and water-based. Airbrush Paints Airbrush paints offer great control over paint thickness and spray pattern, making them ideal for achieving smooth, professional-looking finishes. If You Choose to Use Rust-Oleum: Extensive Research & Testing: Before painting your model, research and test the specific Rust-Oleum product you plan to use on a scrap piece of the same plastic type as your model kit. Primer: Apply a model-specific primer first to ensure proper paint adhesion. Multiple Thin Coats: Instead of a few thick coats, apply multiple thin coats of Rust-Oleum to minimize the risk of issues. Sanding: Be prepared to do a significant amount of sanding to achieve a smooth finish after painting.

Saw a decent looking 59 Edsel 2-door HT project car on a trailer and a restomodded 57 Olds Super 88 during the same outing today. It's finally warming up in Northern California. Also saw a dingbat in a Prius forget to stop while exiting a parking lot. The car she pulled out in front of was a black Ford Police Interceptor Utility with gold lettering, white roof and front doors. Party lights were activated.

Just an FYI, the yellow on black came out in 1963. 1956-62 looked like this one. Not sure if you are going for the "brand new" look or day 2 with your build.

I was hoping that the 10 cases of the Revell "429" Corvette that I bought were going to fund an early retirement, but alas no. 😂

Correction: The de minimus provision did go away, but was reinstated due to the huge amount of extra labor involved to include every package (like the $4 socks that my spouse likes)

more model kits

I have heard from several (reliable) sources that the de minimus provision is going away as well.

I have looked for the last two days. I am sure I have one, but I can't find it. I will look some more and post if I find it.

They look way closer in the photo on my monitor than they do in real life. TS19 and TS54 are fairly close to each other, but remind me more of Marina Blue than Nassau Blue. In real life the Nassau Blue is much more silver-grey than the other two. These were sprayed over bare white plastic spoons, no primer. If you want Nassau, you are going to have to find some somewhere, or break down and get an airbrush. Scale Finishes lacquers are pre-thinned and are as easy to spray (to me anyway) than a rattlecan. Of course, you have to clean the airbrush afterward, I found that I have 2 1/2 cans of the Nassau Blue and they haven't blown out the bottom seam yet. I have no appetite for legally shipping hazardous materials, or I would offer some up.

I think T.J. has the right answer. The T-Bird has a 3.8L which is a 90 degree bank angle. You will have to fab up an intake system for it and maybe modify the valve covers. You will also have to come up with a transmission. The Mustang II and Ranger/Explorer used a 60 degree "Cologne" V6 which is completely different.

I don't want to bring up the "paint ain't real chrome" debate, but this '59 Ford Galaxie rear bumper and the two '68 Thunderbird bumpers were in pretty good shape, but the chrome was thin in a few spots, especially the top of the '59. A couple of light puffs of Revell "Chrom" and they look pretty good and will be fine on the shelf. Spazstix clear doesn't seem to dull the finish either. The stuff is expensive, but it works for me for this kind of work. I would never have enough parts to send out to a plater, and that T-Bird taillight is never going to come out anyway.
