Nice kit to build. The paint is Tropical Glitz Apple-Wine. I used parts box decals. The engine in this kit is a Blown Buick. According to my Gasser books there is only 1 known Gasser running a Buick engine I gotta re-paint those running boards Mike

This Revell kit was a pleasure to build. Shout out to Gerry Paquette for the great trade. Shout out to Jim Heller Decals. There are even marker lights on the sheet. Mike

'Createx' acrylic paint, how to
Mike 1017 replied to fiatboy's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I have tried both Createx and Wicked Colors. I like Wicked because it needs no additives I spray right from the bottle. I use a Paasche Talon with a 0.66 tip and needle I spray about 40 psi. I know that Wicked is a Createx product, but they are different. Use what best works for you Mike -

The 10-inch spray pattern is OK. It is the volume of paint that shoots out like a firehose is the main problem. It is the claim it dries 4 times faster and it bonds that caught my eye. My intent was to warn fellow community members to stay away from this stuff. I have spoken Mike

People like me who are curious and love to experiment with different things. Will never live in a Status Quo world. If I were to use this primer on anything else, I would have to stand at least 3ft away as not to bombard with this primer.

I bought this primer from Walmart because it is a bonding primer. When I did a test spray it came out so fast and heavy I could not stop it in time before it clogged up my spray booth filters Which I have since replaced. I had this Brainstorm that if I replaced the fan nozzle with a smaller one it would limit the amount of primer that would spray out. WRONG!!! It made no difference. Mike
