Jim, could you post some of your cars that you have hand painted? I have had this idea rattling around my brain for a while. Brush paint a car just like I did in the 60's Thanks Mike

You are right about that hood. I tried to adjust it but no luck. I will just display it with the hood off. Thanks for your comment Mike

Amen

Boars head is sold all round Chicago and suburbs. I am not going to buy it anymore. Mike

Those were not real HOK paints and back in the day there was a lot of this going on with these products. I'd bought a few, saw other's results, threw it away. Sorry you had to learn about this the hard way.

You hooked me. Thanks for sharing Mike

It was just information. In the future refer to me as Mike. No need for your sarcastic remark

Yes, the Kustom Kolors line of House of Kolor paints is acrylic enamel. Some people claim that they aren't *real* HOK paints and that Valspar just tacked the name on for *brand recognition* but they are real, just not the same formulation as their automotive paints. More non-sense Thanks Google

I have used 10 year old HOK. I never encountered anything like this. The clear was the last step so it maybe the culprit. The paint on the trunk is way too thick. And could be the reason the clear reacted badly. Everything else looks OK. It will be interesting to see what others think. Good luck Mike

Greg, I can make it work. Mike

I stand corrected. Do you have any tips on how to build that Air Box?

Can anyone give me some advice on how to make one of those? I have the hoses covered. Mike

Outstanding build.

BEAUTIFULL!!!

Use a dehydrator to cure Molotov. I have spoken Mike

I use a Liner Brush to paint the inside edges. Then I use a flat brush to paint the rest. Good luck Mike

I do want to Hi-jack your thread. I was reading one of my Sargent Rock Comics and this was on the back cover. Did any of the HO guys used this? Mike

Here is a little history of those cars Mike An Unusual C3 Corvette Redesigned By George Barris: "The Barrister" (silodrome.com)

George Barris built this amazing car. The 1982 Barrister Roadster for James. Mike

I went to Hobby Looby with my wife 17 years ago. That was the first time I went into the store. I saw all of the model kits, supplies, and it brought back memories of building stuff when I was about 10 years old. I still go to Hobby Lobby every couple of months now. Even though they are cutting back on everything modeling. For 17 years now they still selling that AMT 1968 Shelby 500 GT. Mike

Very KOOL. I have used Tropical Glitz paint. It is nice stuff. Mike
