sjordan2 Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 This is a truly beautiful piece of work. Let me ask you this – my biggest gripe about this hobby is the metallic paint available, which to my eyes always has too much prominent metalflake for the scale, yet this build looks just right. Can you tell me more about the paint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Can Am Garage Posted April 25, 2010 Author Share Posted April 25, 2010 This is a truly beautiful piece of work. Let me ask you this – my biggest gripe about this hobby is the metallic paint available, which to my eyes always has too much prominent metalflake for the scale, yet this build looks just right. Can you tell me more about the paint? The '72 Olds Viking Blue that I used is 1:1 automotive paint. That color and all the others that were used on the '72 Olds plus WAY more are available from http://www.scalefinishes.com/ If Jameston doesn't have it, odds are he can mix it. I haven't stumped him yet and I've made some pretty oddball requests (CN Orange, '53 Studebaker colors among others). All his paint is airbrush only and please take all the necessary precautions (resperator, chemical proof gloves and a spray booth). Thank you all for the kind words on my build.

Scalefinishes Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 That is great looking. The more I see these built, the more I want one. The Olds Viking blue is the same color as Chevy Mulsanne Blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRG Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 That is absolutely fantastic. Great paint job and the detailing is awesome. Being new, it's been forty years, the workmanship on the models I am seeing is making me think maybe I better try something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
