radiohd10 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Finished this one a couple of weeks ago and finally got it outside for some pics. Not the most detailed kit in the world but still a lot of fun... My plan was to convert it to a full r/a with a rallye hood, but I couldn’t find a decent one online. I’ll keep looking and someday I’ll swap them out and add the r/t badges. Until then, we have a little custom r/t-t/a hybrid. Paints are all tamiya cans…gloss black for the body and matte for the vinyl top. I like to think a baaaad man drove this thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intmd8r Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I love black cars - especially E-Bodies. The simulated vinyl top looks great! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 They say that a shiny black car hides no sins and this one proves it. The paint looks like it's still wet. Great engine detailing as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It comes in a spray bottle. I just spray some on a microfiber towel, spread it over the car (including the glass) evenly by hand, let it fog up for a few minutes, then buff it off. Keeps everything clean and shiny. I tried it out on a crappy old practice mustang before using it on my newer builds to see if it was any good…see below 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you just discovered the new Pledge floor gloss??? Definitely going to have to get me some of that ceramic coating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
