Resin 64 Chevy Crew Cab Pickup
64SS350 replied to 64SS350's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Thanks, as an experiment, I found this chrome spray at Michael's. Looks ok, like many others, but I wouldn't recommend it. -

Here's the bed in primer and wood floor finished. Notice the cutout/recessed area at the top of the bed, as is in a 1:1. I still need to add the supports under the bedrail, cut and install the metal strips. -
To prime, or not to prime, that is the question
64SS350 replied to Kaenned's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I realize you asked about painting on molded in color, but here's an example from several years ago. I decided to pull out a stalled project because of paint and decal issues. Tamiya paint, no primer, also some sanding. -

Yes prime! One, it does help you find imperfections (as mentioned above), two, it puts a barrier between the paint and plastic if you need body work, three, the paint will adhere to the plastic, so if imperfections are present in the paint... stripping becomes challenging. My two cents -

Quick update, I looked over the truck bed and decided I didn't like it, so here we go. For starters, I'm changing the bed floor to real wood and adding the rails next, after I made a bit of tooling make them. Also the sides are incorrect, they are not flat, but angle out to the bedside. I scribed them and waited to finish until I got the floor ready. I also added a gas tank and have to reroute the exhaust , that in the next update. -

Jim Heller on eBay has a wide variety of racing decals, I have personally not used them yet, but you can check their feedback.

Model Master Black Chrome Trim

Similar curiosity, I have some ... black chrome BMF. -
I know what you mean, I just got an orbital sander yesterday packaged the same way, and looks as bad! To add, the Amazon facility is literally 5-7 minutes from my house.

paint removal tool
64SS350 replied to rattle can man's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Something I discovered in a video, but haven't tried yet, is placing the part in the alcohol and not removing it, but scrubbing while in the alcohol. While using these different products as paint strippers , they reactivate the paint which allows it to settle in again or deeper if not removed immediately. So removing from the alcohol bath , it would reset quickly as the alcohol would dissipate quickly. I have a couple Chevy Cruze bodies this happened to. My $.02 -

Small update, I've been cleaning up the chassis and repainted the block, it needed more contrast. Frame is gun metal metallic, diffs and springs are semi gl black. -

What's with the U.S.Post office these days?
64SS350 replied to styromaniac's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
I've been buying and selling on eBay since I think 2007. I've experienced odd shipping snafus all along the way. The most recent issue for me is when a package is picked up, however they scan it, it confirms the pickup, but also shows...item delivered. The first time that happened several weeks ago, no tracking was visible until it arrived at it's destination. I've also seen those long mysterious journeys. I sent an item to somewhere in Kentucky, watched the tracking to the point of....out for delivery, and then watched it return to my local post office, only to be resent back to it's intended destination. Agreed, not sure sometimes what is going on.
