Me too !

I hang my bodies upside down to dry.

Thanks for the tip Dave.

Fantastic work !

Thanks for the tips. Been painting model cars for well over 50 years and have never had this problem. Other problems to be sure but not this one. Paint was warm as it was in my garage here in Arizona so I don't think that was the problem. I did manage to get it painted today and had only one very small run which I think I can fix when the paint is dry. I don't see a benefit to using the enamel except I really liked this color. Back to lacquer for me.

Nice work !

Very nice Mustang .

Almost looks like the hood bulge on a early T-bird. I know it's not but it has the same shape.

Very nice, neat, clean build. Good job !

Thanks for the support guys. I should have it back in primer today. Third times the charm ! : )

What's cooking ? Well, it's going to be 108 here today. Does that count ?

Very convincing.

Nice clean work.

Didn't really think I could get good results doing that. If the next one has runs I will give that a try but just feel I could not get a uniform finish that way with this color.

Sounds like sound advice. The paint is Model Master Enamel. I normally like to use lacquer but I have had some good luck with using enamel in the past. This one seems to shoot thin for some reason. I thought this color would fit the car nicely. As you can see the hood looks pretty good ( no clear yet ) I also did the dash and the spare tire carrier without any problems. I know it's me, I'll just have to be more careful on the next paint job. I have had problems before as most guys have but never this much. I do think body shape is playing at least a small part with the problem I am having. I'll get it.

Well, we know it has a gas tank. : )

Good looking Stang.

No, just painter error. Heavy finger. : )

Tell me again why we do this ? : ) May have to start another project while I am working through the problems with this one.

Started the second paint job and I'll be darned if I didn't get a couple more small runs on the front fenders. Back in for a soak ! I will try once more with this color because I really like it. I will go mist after mist and hopefully escape without a run. Plan B will be changing paint and color . I really thought I was putting on light coats. Not giving up ............... yet. : )

Is the plate blurred out on the last one ? What a bunch of stupid looking cars. How do you always find this....................... stuff ?

Another winner !

Love it !

Thanks Bill.

Oh ya, that will be sharp !
