restoman Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 Mopar madness continues... Painted with Root Beer coloured nail polish. It'll have a black interior and chrome Magnum 500 rims instead of the kit-supplied rally wheels.
Shardik Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 WOW! I love that color.What do you thin your nail polish with?
High octane Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 I'm likin' it Mike, of course I just love dem Mopars!
Intmd8r Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 Excellent color choice! Can't wait to see how this one turns out.
restoman Posted March 15, 2016 Author Posted March 15, 2016 I use lacquer thinner to cut the nail polish.It sprayed out really well... thinking I'll be using nail polish a lot more as the colour variety seems endless. I didn't use my airbrush - i find it difficult to keep everything wet with an airbrush - i used a mini HVLP paint gun with a .8 tip.
Canso65 Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 The colour is great Mike. I've heard others talk about using nail polish, maybe now is the time to try. Now, what excuse can I use to explain why I am shopping for nail polish.
restoman Posted December 6, 2016 Author Posted December 6, 2016 Coming together nicely... Had a few problems getting the chassis to align with the body but it's all squared away now. Not really happy with how far forward the front wheels are but it is what it is and what it is is glued together with CA glue, so it stays the way it is.
Rider Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 Very sharp colour choice and great finish too, nice work.

Just thin it with Acetone or Lacquer Thinner, I thin it 50/50 sometimes 40/60, Acetone/nail polish. Look for it on sale at Walmart and Dollar Tree usually has a great selection. I tell the cashier exactly what I use it for, custom painting.

RestoModGuy Posted December 7, 2016 Posted December 7, 2016 Wow, nice color and paint work, I gotta try some nail polish, so many colors to choose from.
