I just bought some new BMF, I hope it's better than what I last had. Thanks James. I need to get this one behind me so I can get on the 37 Ford pickup. I hope that new bmf works out. Let us know.

Zippi Posted July 1, 2022 Author Share Posted July 1, 2022 I got the hood stripped and back in Tamiya white surface primer. Did a little mockup of what I have so far. Still need to paint the paper element on the air cleaners and a little more detail in the engine bay. Comments are welcome fellows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluestringer Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Looking good Bob. That paint looks great. I'm going to give the Tamiya stuff a try. Can't get it anywhere near me, so I ordered a couple bottles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Ouch! Started reading on this page and I got the feeling something hadn’t gone right. That Sucks! Have you thought about masking off the chrome trim, spraying gloss black, and then Alclad II Chrome? Admittedly I haven’t tried that myself yet but I will on my Hemi ‘Cuda. Cheers, Wolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zippi Posted July 6, 2022 Author Share Posted July 6, 2022 Just finished airbrushing the Tamiya Clear Orange on the hood. Trying to match a custom color is quite the task, for me anyway. I still need to polish it but I think it came out pretty good. I'm a happy camer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
