Hello......thank you all for the kind comments.......I got the third stage rear-end of the car painted.......I fogged in H.O.K. purple kandy......then I fogged in a custom mix of Dupont dark purple with pearl added .......then I misted a coat of H.O.K. cobalt blue kandy.......now I need to paint the black stripe and wing at the rear-end, apply the decals and do the rivets......thanks for looking.

[John Teresi]

Hi John, been a silent observer for a while on this build of yours, nothing more can be said that hasn't already praising this build, can I trouble you to ask what brand of airbrush you use please, the fine detail in your painting just blows me away.

Hi David.......I use a Paasche single action.....it comes with 3 tips and needles......and is so easy to use and clean........and you can buy them new for around $60.00.........I have bought 2 and $300.00 airbrushes and I don`t even use them.....I get the same results as a expensive one.......I have learned that if you have the right paint mixture,air pressure and weather.......you can have excellent results.......hope you get one......if you need any help let me know.......thanks.

[Dyno Davo]

Thanks John, might be scouring eBay for one of those, need to step up on my painting for the next project.

[Dr. Cranky]

John, you are right (and so is Donn Yost who is always recommending this same model) the Paasche H in particular is a wonderful airbrush kit, and very inexpensive. Single action trigger. Pull and it releases paint and air. Great atomization.
