bryan_m Posted September 11, 2012 Author Posted September 11, 2012 ok guys, a couple of you asked me how i got that "pitted chrome" look on my bumpers, here ya go........ its very simple. heres what you will need to do it... testors dullcoat, i use three different mig rust powders, and two different colors of obriens weathering powders... more to come bryan
Dr. Cranky Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 Wow, that show is coming up again. Cool, make sure to snap some photos of the eye candy on the tables, please.
bryan_m Posted September 11, 2012 Author Posted September 11, 2012 take your bumper (or whatever) and attachit to your fave parts holder......shoot dullcoat on it lightly from about three feet away.....this gives it a blotchy coat, and the whole thing wont be dull... im posting this as i go, so stay tuned.... bryan
bryan_m Posted September 11, 2012 Author Posted September 11, 2012 ok, apply the rust powder with a medium stiff brush....and this is what ya get.. if you have any questions, just ask! cheers bryan
Dr. Cranky Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 The results are always nice. This stuff really works.
bryan_m Posted September 12, 2012 Author Posted September 12, 2012 it sure does cranky..... i probably could have went into more depth on it, but thats the basics.....and if you think you went too far, you can rub some off with your finger.... cheers bryan
bryan_m Posted September 12, 2012 Author Posted September 12, 2012 ok, i am starvin! time to fuel up,and fill my "iced tea tankard".......then ill be ready to hit this thing hard! stay tuned gentlemen, more to come cheers bryan
bryan_m Posted September 12, 2012 Author Posted September 12, 2012 i think its time to get the frame, wheels, and some other misc parts painted.....the temp and humidity are just right tonight.....so here we go... more to come thanks for lookin bryan
bryan_m Posted September 12, 2012 Author Posted September 12, 2012 so i did all the "sub assemblies" for the chassis, shot everyhting with a coat of "brown boots" then a thin coat of red oxide primer, and finally dusted it lightly with more brown boots.... dusting it again makes it look more like rust to me than just using red oxide.... more to come! bryan
bryan_m Posted September 12, 2012 Author Posted September 12, 2012 i decided to paint and detail the battery.....i think it looks ok. it will be all dirty anyways! LOL more to come bryan
bryan_m Posted September 12, 2012 Author Posted September 12, 2012 i think i goofed on the battery though.....not that its all that important, but, arent the filler caps supposed to be green? its been so long since i have seen one of these old style batteries i forget.... i think the delcos had green caps.............oh well. cheers bryan
Pat Minarick Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 ok, apply the rust powder with a medium stiff brush....and this is what ya get.. if you have any questions, just ask! cheers bryan Nice job! i like how that looks.
