I'm seeing the "This comment can no longer be edited........" box on MY computer.... only in this topic. Weird............

Happy belated BirthDay, Carl! So tell us what you did, A nice dinner perhaps?

Very Nice Model! The paint is nice and slick, and you did great with the decals........... I've always liked Foose's REAL designed cars, not so much the ones he just adds stripes and rims to. The TerraCuda, FD-100, Impression, all first rate designs..... There is a thread in the 1:1 section about an Impala named Imposter, that's a nice car..................... I've been wanting to do a large scale kit for a while, this just may be the one I take a stab at...............

Hey, friend.... since it's a Hemi in that kit, it would be orange. Turquoise was the non-Hemi color for the big block Chryslers..........

I've always liked the look of this concept, but the wheels are all wrong....... any of you Photoshop gurus care to take a stab at it? Maybe some recall or turbine wheels, with blue streak tires? Harry?

Well, ThanksGiving is upon us, so I thought I would go out and shoot my first turkey....... You should have seen the looks on the faces of the people in the frozen foods section!

Hey, Friend..... I've never seen anyone mask where they were gonna foil. Sure is an interesting technique, can't wait to see how it works out for you!

That sounds very uncharacteristic of Dupli-Color....... The Perfect Match paints go on super thin. Are you using the big cans? I get good results from the small touch-up cans......

FaceBook.....!! Happy Birthday, man...................!

Hope the photo works...... I masked this entire paint job with BMF. I could probably do a better job now, this was done a couple years ago.........

THAT is Way Awesome! Are you going to keep it and drive it, or is it going in a museum? Awesome............!!

I have never used Future, so I may be way off base, but you didn't shake it up did you? I know regular polyurethane for wood can't be shaken or you'll get air bubbles in it......... kinda sounds like what you are experiencing......

Just more reasons I think I would like to be able to pay to just link photos directly to the forum from my computer......... I have 5 or 6 pages of attachments to the forum and have only used 1/4 of my allotted space.

Thanks, Bill........ It's DupliColor's Perfect Match clear, and it's just a bit of humidity blush.

I was wondering what would be the best product for removing a little cloudiness that I got in the hood of my Impala. I don't want anything that's gonna haze the finish, since I would then have to polish it back out.... Would Novus 1 do the trick? How about a wax of some sort from Advance Auto? Thank You, you friendly and knowledgeable bunch of Guys, you..............!!

Got the Impala cleared, finally......... need to order some foil so I can get to work on it........

Good points about the quantity of paint in a 12 oz can..... That's the size of a can of Rustoleum. It's an ideal setup for me though, since I can spray my next project with it, then give Dad the rest to use on the 1:1 for some minor touchups he wants to do.............

Darren, I believe the "Blue Bandito" pickup has a set of flippers, along with other scuba gear............

Snake, I think they mean that because of fading and weathering the paint they mix fresh won't match what's on your vehicle....... I guess you could send them a fuel door or something small from your car and they could match from that..............

Thanks for the awesome info, Guys! If I didn't live in an apartment, I would already have an air brush setup, until I can get a proper vented booth it's aerosols for me.....

I just found this site while searching around for custom matched paints for an upcoming project. Looks like a legitimate business, and they can do aerosols! and they are cheaper than MCW aerosols..... http://www.paintscratch.com/ Their cans are 12 ozs. and run about $25, MCW cans are like 4 ozs. and run near $15....... Check them out, you may can find that perfect factory color you've been hunting..................

If you don't already have some, you're gonna love Tamiya acrylic transparent red for taillights....... it has a nice smell to it, like cough syrup!

I kinda like his choice in music/muzak.............

Hey, Guys....... I'm wondering if any of the companies out there that custom mix and can paints use a "fan" spray tip? I'm not a real fan of the round spray pattern, never can get good results......... probably something I should work on...... Thanks for any help with this......!

I diggin' the color! and the paint looks nice and smooth, especially in the overhead shot..........
