Griff Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Just got a start on this build. Primed it with Vallejo acrylic surface primer then used Tamiya X-14 sky blue, off to good start and I'm loving this color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griff Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 Very nice. Did you use spray cans? Benno, only for a spray stand, lol. both the primer and finish were airbrushed, still have to polish the paint with some compound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

o-man Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I'm looking forward to this. I have similar color plans for the one I have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 Thank you all, the funny thing is the car I saw that inspired this color choice has yellow interior, I don't think I can bring myself to do a yellow interior, buts its still interesting. Maybe white or black or some sort of cream color will work..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTJUNIOR Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Cream or light tan will look good for the interior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 quick update, clear coat is going on the body soon, suspension and exhaust done. This is my first time using the Tamiya weathering kit on the exhaust and I am very happy with the results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twokidsnosleep Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Awesome progress, that exhaust IS something to be proud of.......what did you use exactly??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) Awesome progress, that exhaust IS something to be proud of.......what did you use exactly??? Thanks! First I painted the exhaust using Tamiya X-31 Titanium Gold then I used the tamiya weathering kit. First coat i used the "burnt red" on the spots I wanted stained, then came back and used the "burnt blue" right on top of the red for the desired effect.

Griff Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 Decided to test the interior color, once I sprayed one seat I filled up the cup and continued the rest of the interior, I think the color is perfect, also got a nice 4 coats of Tamiya X-22 clear on the body, fingers crossed it will polish out nice.

dreamgarage Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Loving this color combo and the kit as a whole. It was a little too expensive for my liking so I'll be living vicariously through your build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
