pjacobs Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Hi Marcos, One thing I noticed on your build is that you got in and around the bumper area with the body paint to correctly mimic how most American seventies cars were. I'm currently building this same model and am painting it with Splash paint's lime green color and am trying to use that same paint with a brush to do both the rims and bumper area, but because it is in reduced form am having trouble getting them to look "full color" like you did. Any tips? Great looking build too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any tips? Great looking build too! Thank you, that area was actually masked and airbrushed. I used Bare Metal Foil around the perimeter of the lights for masking purposes and masked the bumper as well. If you brush it, you will end up with brush marks....

pjacobs Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Same with the wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After removal of the chrome, I brushed two coats of primer and three coats of the paint to achieve full coverage. Brushmarks on the wheels will not be noticeable....... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
