Lownslow Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 (edited) im pretty much limited to diecasts when it comes to cool cars, this is one of them. dont know the maker but this could give a styrene a run for its money here it is after color the basecoat was HOK cobalt blue this is how much paint was used @20 psi thinned with acrylic enamel thinner.

vizio93 Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 Wow !!! I really like that blue color. What wheels are you going to use, the ones that were on it look good, but some BBS's would look perty good on it too. Just my 2 cents
Lownslow Posted January 6, 2010 Author Posted January 6, 2010 thanks its sort of a blurple blue is what the camera catches,nope going with the aoshima wheels painted in aclad or color matched rings.
Crusader101 Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 Excellent subject and beautiful paint! I enjoy working with diecasts myself, they really add another dimension to modeling!
Lownslow Posted January 12, 2010 Author Posted January 12, 2010 i didnt think it had this big of a flip considering i was about to redo the paint
MikeMc Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 I like the color but am confused....HOK cobalt blue base? what is on top? and why that reducer with HOK? Or did you use the wallyworld Kustom Kolors?? Then that reducer makes sense... More info please as I shoot a lot of HOK and am looking for that flip.....just doesn't look like a pearl.

More info please as I shoot a lot of HOK and am looking for that flip.....just doesn't look like a pearl. the cobalt was a basecoat for the nailpolish since its semi transparent, the reducer is for the nailpolish. i got some of that wally world stuff but havent been bothered to try it out yet
