Swifster Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 So I just got a can of Panther Pink. Has anyone used this and how close to the real deal is it. I want to use this for a project, but I always looked at FM3 (Panther Pink) as being a 'magenta'. Thoughts?
diymirage Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 cant tell you bout the testors, but model master spraybomb (1970/70 M3) looks more like furious fuschia to me
Swifster Posted January 28, 2012 Author Posted January 28, 2012 That's the color I meant. Maybe I need some of the magenta to check/compare.
a/gass Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 it depends on how maney coats you put on?the more coats the darker it get's - 2 light mist coats (just enoff to give overall color)wet sand with 3200 on all open areas (sides,roof,trunk ect...) stay away from edges then shot a wet coat - should be on the money - if it needs to be a little darker mist it agin.happy modeling mike
Scottnkat Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) My daughter painted her car in Testors Panther Pink over a white primer. Not sure how close it is, but here's a shot of it: And here she is with her first two model cars - she also built a roadway to display them on: Edited January 28, 2012 by Scottnkat
Mercman Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Here it is over white primer. This one is Krylon Odd's and Ends Pink.
Dr. Cranky Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 Yes, I believe the white primer will help get the color just right. Nice models above.
Casey Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 This was painted over a white primer base, then with two or three color coats of Testors Model Master lacquer: Lighting (and your eyes/monitor) are going to play a role in how you view this (and any color), as you can see in the below pic of the chassis: The color appears darker and slightly more purple near the front suspension to my eyes in the above image, but it's all the same color and coverage, sprayed at the same time.
Swifster Posted January 29, 2012 Author Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) OK, I'll give it a shot over white primer. The color on Casey's Road Runner looks just right. I guess the worst than happens is I strip it and redo with the magenta if it doesn't look right. Oh, and Scott, tell your daughter your daughter she did a great job. I hope I live up to HER example.

Scottnkat Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 My daugher just read your comment, Tom - she smiled and got a kick out of that. Thanks!
