Need Tips on Working With Enamels
JollySipper replied to JollySipper's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
It's just the finish they have right out of the can, like what you have painted looks coated with 'rubber'... it's not like the look of a cleared lacquer. Your Goat looks really good, btw, I guess because you polished it....... -

Need Tips on Working With Enamels
JollySipper replied to JollySipper's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
It might be my only option....... I can get a nice slick finish with them, I just don't like the rubbery look to them. unless There's a way to get cheap lacquers in a spray? -
Need Tips on Working With Enamels
JollySipper posted a topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I'm needing to find a cheaper alternative to the DupliColor that I've grown to love because the stuffs $11 a can now.... I'm thinking of giving Krylon a try. Does anyone have pics of models with Krylon as the final paint? I'm a slick and shiny person, so those kinds of paint jobs would be the most helpful.... Just out of the can, the enamels seem to look kinda 'rubbery' to me. Would wet sanding then clearing help with the look of it? What kind of variety do they have as far as colors go? Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks.... -
Sharp car! You could get a set of Mustang wheels from a salvage yard and they would bolt right on..... probably dress it up quite nice...

How about a bare metal finish?

I just discovered this art technique, I've been looking for something for my niece's birthday and stumbled upon it.... All it takes is a few basic hand tools and strips of paper. Here's some examples I found.... Anybody here do this? I think I may take it up myself........

Another crazy Barrett Jackson auction.. (Scottsdale)
JollySipper replied to NYLIBUD's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
If you look at the Craigslist ads in Arizona the weeks before the auctions, you get to see some really nice stuff........ I often look at the Phoenix listings. -
Thanks, Carl! I'm thinking about tinting the head light lenses now that I see how it looks in the pic...... I used the front air dam, but decided against the full treatment......

Thank you, fellas! Here's a final full-on mock up with glass and interior...... it still needs one more coat of paint, then clear and polish. Things look kinda monochromatic, but maybe the black trim will break it up some...... I plan to get some foil to do the trim with...... Thanks for looking...

That's purty......

I remember Weird Al did the theme to the spoof 'Spy Hard'..... it was hilarious!

Paint Pens for Detailing...
JollySipper replied to JollySipper's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
Rick, you can paint large areas with them, if you flow them kinda wet.... they range in tip sizes, so pinstripes would be pretty easy to make... I don't see why you couldn't make custom decals with them. -

JollySipper replied to JollySipper's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
They are in the 'arts and crafts'....... They are very useful, especially for things like battery posts, radiator caps and the like... -
Paint Pens for Detailing...
JollySipper replied to JollySipper's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
You just have to know what you're doing...... That's a joke.... I've never had that happen, but I've never used a white one. White paint seems to be "clumpier" than others, even in the Folk Art craft paints... -

Porsche Outlaws & Hot Rods
JollySipper replied to afx's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
JC, is there a list here on the board that lists all the 911 variants and why they're called what they are? Like, what makes a 993 different from a 911? May be a dumb question, but I love a nice Porsche and would like to know more about them....... Thanks! -
Paint Pens for Detailing...
JollySipper replied to JollySipper's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
They come in a variety of shapes and sizes... the medium tip is about the same as a 3mm chrome marker. I'm glad you guys find this useful....... -
Got the wheels painted up, and just a quick mock-up to see how they're gonna look........ Thanks for checkin' in, and comment freely......

I'm not sure if any of you guys know about these... I get them at the Mart of Wal, they are paint pens.... they have a similar pump style tip to the Molotow markers. You can get a lot of use from them, and they only cost a couple bucks... I used the red and silver ones to detail these rims.... You can clear over them if you want... Thought these were worth mentioning to you fellas!
