Billy Hargrave's 1979 Camaro-Stranger Things

[Deathgoblin]

This is a reissue of the Monogram 3-in-1 Camaro kit with some changes. T-tops are filled in, and a flat hood. The kit goes together really well. The paint color is Duplicolor GM Indigo metallic. Love that it comes with decals for the tires. The wheels are painted with flat steel and washed with black, then picked out the details with a chrome pen.

Very nice. I like the color. Did you use duplicolor primer, and clear too?

I use a primer by a company called "Now", it's their universal primer (their white paint is good too).  I've never had an issue with it being too hot for the plastic and lacquers work great over it.  Other up side is it's about $5-7 a can at the auto parts store.  I almost never use clear coat.  It's another layer that I'll probably screw up.   So the paint is just polished out color coat.

I have put Tesors Wet look clear lacquer over Duplicolor with good results. No need to polish, and it really protects the base coat from almost anything except sunlight, as I do not think testors is UV safe. Duplicolor clear is good too, but I do not think it is as durable as Testors Lacquer
