Nacho Z Posted March 8, 2022 Posted March 8, 2022 About a month ago I posted 4 pictures of 4 model kits on my FB page and let my friends pick one for me to build. They chose the Foose kit. I built it box stock. It is painted in Splash Paints Audi Autumn Shimmer. I have found that this model is hard to photograph. I can either get the beautiful deep color or I can get the glossy shine/reflection but I am unable to get both at the same time. I went with the deep color. I hope everyone likes it. 6
Zippi Posted March 8, 2022 Posted March 8, 2022 You've got one fine looking 56 Ford pickup John. That Splash paint looks so good. Very nicely done.
bisc63 Posted March 8, 2022 Posted March 8, 2022 She's a beauty, all right! That color is so rich and perfectly applied. Very well done.
happy grumpy Posted March 8, 2022 Posted March 8, 2022 Absolutely gorgeous, The paint job is perfect and the color is awesome.
Koellefornia Kid Posted March 8, 2022 Posted March 8, 2022 Beautiful paint job! Works really well with all the chrome!

67Spirit Posted March 10, 2022 Posted March 10, 2022 Beautiful finish and amazingly deep color. Did you have to polish it out after painting?

Short answer is yes. Long answer is as follows; after all of the body prep was complete I primed everything with Gravity Colors (Spain) Dark Surface Primer. I airbrushed Splash Paint’s Audi Autumn Shimmer. I let it cure and sprayed Tamiya TS-13 Clear straight from the can. I let it cure and then knocked it down with Micro Mesh cloths. After that I used Tamiya polish compounds. Polishing was done by hand, no rotary tools. I actually enjoy the polishing process. It is relaxing to me.
Doug 1061 Posted March 10, 2022 Posted March 10, 2022 Beautiful truck. Some outdoor pics would really make it pop.
