Hello, I am trying to figure out the best way to do this belt. I want to use painted masking tape for the belt so mocked up the original belt assembly but I cant see how to mount the accessories as they are held together by the "belt". I suppose I will need to fabricate some brackets...which I have never attempted before.... Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello, I am trying to strip some acrylic paint (brushed on if it matters) from some parts but having no luck. I tried regular paint thinner draino and bleach with absolutely no effect. Before go out and buy some Of the stuff mentioned here I was wondering if someone can point me n the right direction. TIA.

Dyimirage, that looks great. I will have to try that. The Michaels by me doest have much of a model cars section. And very little in terms of paint. I will have do some on line shopping. Any suggestions on a good online retailer?

Thanks for the prompt replies! Going over to Michaels tonight to see what they have. I just got started on my 97 Camaro. Wish me luck!

Hello, I am new to the forum and relatively new to the hobby. I used to build models for fun but nothing like what is found here...simply amazing. I stumbled accross some of my old models and thought it would be fun to start again. And maybe one day get close to the level of the folks on this forum! I even have some new in the box models that I never built. (a '97 Camaro SS, a '99 Camaro SS, an 86' Grand National, an '87 Monte Carlo SS Aero Coupe, a Baracuda (not sure of the year))I also went out and bought an '06 Magnum. my questions are: 1 - Are there any mixes I can do to get transparent paint for tail lights and such. I read about future and food coloring...anything else? 2 - Is it recomended to prime ALL parts before painting or just the exterior? I am using mostly Testors acrylics (brush on) for the non body parts. I use acrylics since I dont have a dedicated workbench\work area to build on (mostly on the kitchen table...) and the cleanup is a bit easier with acrylics (plus no\little fumes) 3 - When using the acrylics, should I be thinning it before use? if so what should I thin with? Water or acrylic thinner?
