WickedRidez Posted June 6, 2018 Posted June 6, 2018 Picked this kit up the other day. Going to build it box stock as it's been a while since I have built any models. Earlier I was spraying primer from the can and noticed that it wasn't coming out smooth so the body and hood are taking a swim. The boys are still working on the rest. Pics to come soon
WickedRidez Posted June 8, 2018 Author Posted June 8, 2018 The kit: Body in primer: Engine: Body and parts in color fist time spraying nail polish with my airbrush. Had to thin it more than usual since I'm using a .3mm needle waiting on my .5mm needle and nozzle to come in. As always comments welcome =]]
NOBLNG Posted June 9, 2018 Posted June 9, 2018 Looking good! I just picked this kit up today with a 50% off coupon from Michaels.

I ordered mine off of Amazon, as well as my airbrush kit. Right now I'm waiting on my .5 tip and needle to show up which should be tomorrow.

dragmodels44 Posted June 9, 2018 Posted June 9, 2018 Great color choice for a 69. As long as you’re going to wet sand it, I’d add another coat of paint as it will lay down even smoother and look deeper after you’ve wet sanded it. The smoother every coat is, the next coat will lay down better giving you a deeper and smoother finish. Just a suggestion.

So back to the drawing board. Stay tuned
dragmodels44 Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 Well, if you’re going to start over, how about these 2 colors, as they are pretty close to Rally green, which it looks like that’s what you were doing. The first one is Tamiya TS20 metallic green, the other is testors emerald green. I mixed both and this is how it came out. I hope that helps you a little with your color choice.
WickedRidez Posted June 10, 2018 Author Posted June 10, 2018 Well here is a small update on the camaro. Going to be laying down some decals today. Hopefully in the next couple days my 2k clear will be here. The boys are getting antsy to finish this bad boy.
WickedRidez Posted June 12, 2018 Author Posted June 12, 2018 Haven't been feeling good since last update, but hoping to get this going again today, trying to make it a rolling chassis today.
WickedRidez Posted June 15, 2018 Author Posted June 15, 2018 Finally got my 2k clear in the mail. Will be clearing the car either tonight or tomorrow. Stay tuned
WickedRidez Posted June 15, 2018 Author Posted June 15, 2018 Cleared the body and so far I'm liking this clear coat. Super glossy going to let it cure for a bit then wet sand it and do another coat or 2
WickedRidez Posted June 16, 2018 Author Posted June 16, 2018 After a few coats of clear and currently dry to the touch.
WickedRidez Posted July 8, 2018 Author Posted July 8, 2018 Back on the bench with this guy. Been super busy with work. Working a bunch of 12 hour shifts. Pics coming soon!!
