greenday Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 Very interesting paint work, I like the metallic specks. Wheels look classic, very nice, you can tell a lot of work was put into it. Cool! But why no windows?
crazyjim Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 How did you get such heavy metallic in the paint? Custom mix or something?
ucntcme Posted June 1, 2009 Author Posted June 1, 2009 Gloss black then Krylon Metallic Silver sprayed in air over it. Sounds easy but your lucky if you get it to look and cover even the first try!
greenday Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 I agree, a bit thick, and some detail lost, but it looks very good. The lines that are blurred look intentional, and the whole car has a cool glossed over look...might have to try this technique. Hope you enjoy dusting your interior w/o windows! Hah..very cool though.
george 53 Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 I gotta agree with Lee! Looks GOOD! The lines flow into each other well for being 2 completely different designs. You've done a real nice job of blending them, now go put some glass in it!
supermike Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 I am not such a big fan on the pant job you did. Mike
Modlbldr Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Nice body lines. It blends well together. In regards to your paint job Krylon sells a paint called Fusion "Mystic Prism Effect" that does just about the same thing. You spray on a base coat-usually Gloss Black, then spray the Fusion over it. I used it on the Supercoupe below and it looks great in the sun light. Later-
Jon Cole Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 Looks nice, but it's not really "finished" until it gets some windows! Consider making some. There is clear flat and curved plastic all around us, as well sold in hobby shops. I think you need about a .010 thickness (don't quote me on that- I'm REAL bad with numbers) If you can get inside the body, just make a paper pattern, transfer it to the plastic, cut, and glue with clear epoxy or white glue. Tape it in place until the glue sets. Protect the clear surfaces from glue smudge by covering the open area with Post-It notes cut to size. Piece of cake!
ucntcme Posted June 16, 2009 Author Posted June 16, 2009 I may try that whenever I stop being lazy! Thanks for the tip!!
