What about the line that Model RRs use for power lines? http://www.berkshirejunction.com/ezline.html You could make your own with hooks made from paper clips.

What is the web site for OEM paint colors
Ironman63 replied to jw78z28's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
This site doesn't sell paint but it is a good place to find paint codes and colors by year: http://www.paintref.com I just click the "Paint Chips" tab at the top left then select the manufacturer and then the year. -
Anyone know if there is a 71 Charger that has bucket seats and the center console? I'm building a Super Bee and the 1:1 for my inspiration has bucket seats and the console. If there is not one, I guess I will scratchbuild one. I have already reworked the bench seat into bucket seats so if must be done, so shall it be. lol Thanks for any help, Mark

Chrome Spray Paint Comparison
Ironman63 replied to om617's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
On the Spaz Stix site, it says that the mirror chrome is "specially formulated for Lexan". What primer would you need to use this on styrene or is it incompatible with styrene? Thanks. -
Blue or Gold?

My choice is gold as well. -
Paint Chips For Your Bottle Paint Containers
Ironman63 replied to VW93's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
I hadn't thought about doing paint chips. That's a great idea. I haven't started doing a lot of mixing colors yet, so my system is a little different. I bought some 1 inch round labels(Avery 5408) and type the color on it, then stick it on the cap. Then I print the month and year and stick it on the bottom. I also make the background Gray for Metallizers and Green for Acrylics. -
Paint Booths & Safe Ventilation?
Ironman63 replied to Synister's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
Thanks for the replies, guys. Ace, each fan is 240 CFM, but I will need to use flexible hose to vent (about 8 feet). From reading some of the other posts, you need more suction for the flex rather than the solid pipe. Do you think this might be overkill? Thanks. -
Paint Booths & Safe Ventilation?
Ironman63 replied to Synister's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
I'm looking to build a paint booth(3x2x2) and use 2 bilge blowers for the fans. For the power supply, would this be what I need: DC 12V 5A 10A 15A 20A 30A Regulated Transformer Power Supply For LED Strip USA http://www.ebay.com/itm/181284109670?var=480306974549&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 ? Will I need one for each blower ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/200489271226?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 )? The blowers are 4A and use a 6A fuse. If I only need one, should it be a 10A or something higher? Electrical connections are not really in my wheelhouse. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks! -

Revell 1965 Chevy Truck Help
Ironman63 replied to Ironman63's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Thanks for the replies. That's what thought when I couldn't find one online. I think I'll try the .025 V-groove siding first and see where it goes from there. -
I need the chrome side sail molding that says "Custom" for my build. Is there someone in the aftermarket that sells these? I appreciate any help in advance. http://

I ran across this and thought I would share: http://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/20-wood-grain-a-how-too/ I know it's not on a model car, but his step-by-step method should easily transfer to cars. It also shows how to get the different shades of wood desired.

Does anyone have this set? If so, would it be possible to post a large picture of it or a pic of the installation instructions. I have tried searching every way I can think of and can only find the small stock pic that is on the Model Car Garage site(even the etailers and ebay sellers use it). I want to build the Super Bee but I can't tell what the PE kit has in it to see if has what I need before I buy it. Thanks in advanced for any help! Mark Pictures are of my brother-in-law's Bee.

Model Master enamel paints
Ironman63 replied to Ironman63's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Thanks for the info, guys. That is what I was looking for. -
Is there a way to tell which MM enamel paints are flat and gloss? Does it fall under the number classification(1700's, 2100's, etc.) or by the list (auto, railroad, military, etc.)? I looked at Testor's site but couldn't find an answer. Any help is appreciated. Mark

Very nice builds. Did you use decals for the tire lettering or is it paint? Very crisp, especially on the middle car.
