bluestringer Posted July 18, 2021 Author Share Posted July 18, 2021 Got the body painted. Used a lime green craft paint from Hobby Lobby. Fist time using my airbrush on a body, noticed after my first attempt it was starting to run bad, had to quickly wash it off and start over. Keep messing with the mix and finally got it looking fairly good. Have not cleared it yet, plan on using Rustoleum 2X clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonhawk1066 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Nice color choice, and the craft paints are actually pretty nice to work with once you get the hang of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My work shed has no AC, and it's hot here in South Georgia, heat indexes 100 and above with high humidity. I can only stay in there for a little while in the early mornings.

I'm in northern Mississippi so I know what you mean. I have several bodies waiting for just the right day to paint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceaser_Salad Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Nice job on the decal and paint work. I am about to start this kit myself, are the decals a pain to do? Do you use solvent/softener? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kept working with it with a damp sponge and got it straightened out. You have to get them lined up just right because of the hole for the door handle. There was no hole for the rear marker light, had to cut that out after they dried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
