Nacho Z Posted March 8, 2022 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, Timothy! 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.
