Revell 1969 Camaro

I used Testors Mystic Emerald One-Coat Lacquer spray can in an airbrush. It is a great paint that covers well and can be thinned with regular lacquer thinner. I ended up using only about 1/5 can to paint the whole car. Clear coat is 2-part urethane (Western) bought from Sherwin Williams for about $25/quart. Chrome trims are Bare Metal Foil's ultra bright chrome. The other chrome parts (e.g. bumpers) are factory stock.

Pictures were taken outdoor with no direct sun and a Nikon fully auto digital camera (in macro flower mode) and steady hands.

That clear coat is something else.

Looks great in that color. The BM hood gives it a menacing aggressive look.

Got any motor pics?

I'll never trust a Testors rattle-can nozzle again, so I'm glad to see the new lacquers airbrush so well. That's a great color, skillfully applied, on a really clean build. Well done!

Any engine and/or chassis shots?

[Intrepid_R/T]

I like the color. 69 camaro is probably the best ever built in my opinion.

Thanks everyone for your reply and comments. I'll upload the engine room picture and some other pictures later after I upload them.

The Oregon license plate came with the kit.

The Testors one-coat lacquer is a great paint that airbrushes like a dream. I have used it before with ease and good results as shown in this Camaro concept car snap kit:

The Western Select clear coat (RS6200) mixes with the hardener (RS9002) in a 4:1 ratio, just like many other urethane 2-part clear coat. It is just a lot cheaper than the name brand. The hardener comes in two temperature range: 55F-75F and 75F-95F for different drying environment. Here is a picture of what the can looks like.
