That black primer does look great ! The spacing is something nobody will ever notice unless you tell them , even then I doubt they would see what you see .
Those first stripes look sharp ! I just recently tried the Tamiya tape and was surprised how well it works , I didn't spray any clear before the color and still had no bleed under the edges .
Nothing wrong with building your way and I like it , the colors look great ! I build both ways . . . sometimes I like to detail and build an accurate model while other times I like a simple out of the box build .
Looks like your booth gives plenty of light for photographing models , that's seems to be a problem with a lot of them .
Sharp looking Ramchargers Dodge ! Good call cutting the stripes apart !
Received my two kits yesterday and as said earlier everything looks great ! I especially like the new tires !
One thing though is that neither kit had any decals , are there supposed to be any included ? Not a deal breaker for me , just curious .
It was sprayed directly over the red paint . These chrome paints spray very heavy so you need to hold the can at least 18 inches from the part being sprayed and move the can side to side quickly .
It's been a while since I posted an update but finally had some time last week to work on a few things . After painting the top boot I applied the snaps by dabbing a little clear and then positioning the washers , when everything dried it was sprayed with some semi-gloss clear .
Also glued the headlight lens in place to finish the grille/bumper .
The big task was foiling the body . Not a lot really but it was more difficult since I was piecing together small pieces of the New Improved Chrome I have left . The side trim for example used six or seven pieces and took a couple of hours to finish each side . The rest was pretty straight forward except for the taillight bezels which are a combination of foil and Molotow Chrome .
There are several small details to take care of and then I can start the final assembly . I might just finish it this year !!
