Vincent631 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Hey now, I started these projects way back in 2013. They still are not done!!!! MPC Dukes of Harrard General Lee. -Body needs back panel painted flat black, needs all trim painted silver, wheels need to be painted aluminum then semi-gloss black between wheel spokes. AMT Bigfoot Monster truck- Fully painted. Stuck on #23A frame assembley. This is very hard to fit each side of the frame, the back of the cab and the back window. I can't get past this step, this model is 100% painted ready to go. AMT 1970 Camaro Z28- This was to keep me busy while paint dried and I was stuck on the other two. I really want to get these done!! Any tricks to painting the stainless/chrome trim around the windows? I do a decent job painting the body only to have to HAND paint silver. I try my best masking it up with tape but, it always gets where I dont want. Then, I have to go and rub it off with compound and start over. I am stuck on these three kits over the past few years! The next day I have off of work is this Sunday, will I ever finish the General Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freakshow12 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Try bare metal foil. You will never silver paint trim again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbluesd Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I did the Bigfoot kit as my second model.... I had the exact same problem. I can't remember how I ended up doing it or if it even turned out well, I just remember that part being a beast. That's also the point at which I learned CA fogs windows. Persevere!
