gautreau Posted January 5, 2013 Author Posted January 5, 2013 Managed to remask the truck again over the last few days. I hope to start laying down the other colors in the next few days. Thanx for lookin' Jeremy
gautreau Posted January 7, 2013 Author Posted January 7, 2013 Started to repaint this build today. The hood and cab need one more color added.The box still has two more colors to go. Thanx for lookin' Jeremy
gautreau Posted January 8, 2013 Author Posted January 8, 2013 Thanx I appreciate that. There is suppoed to be a conversion kit but I could not find one.
kilrathy10 Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Looks great, Man...Hate doin' stuff twice...Good save on your part, though....
freakshow12 Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 this is pretty cool. I use bmf on some wacky paint jobs as its thinner and gives a really crisp edge.
kenss Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 GOOD GREAF JUST HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR IT TO STRIP? AND WHAT IS IT IN?
gautreau Posted January 12, 2013 Author Posted January 12, 2013 kc7wzl, yes I did seal the tape after I masked it. But it and the krylon didn't get along. So the hood and box are back in the pond for a week.The cab faired a little better. As you can see there are some various size paint blowouts. But I can fix these.Once those are fixed I can start on the stripes with gel pens. Thanx for lookin' Jeremy.
gautreau Posted January 14, 2013 Author Posted January 14, 2013 Yeah That is going to be my new rule.Test the compatability of the paints first.
gautreau Posted February 23, 2013 Author Posted February 23, 2013 So I started to remask this build again. Hopefully it goes well this time.If not I just might blow it up.Or turn it into a lowrider. Thanx for lookin' Jeremy
dirtracer2448 Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 You sir have the worst luck with this build, but it looks like it will turn out great. I cannot wait to see more
gautreau Posted February 23, 2013 Author Posted February 23, 2013 Yeah this truck has put up a fight the whole build process.Thanx I appreciate that aswell.
gautreau Posted February 27, 2013 Author Posted February 27, 2013 Round 2 of masking done. Thanx for lookin' Jeremy
gautreau Posted February 28, 2013 Author Posted February 28, 2013 Thanx I appreciate that.I hope it works this time too.
gautreau Posted March 1, 2013 Author Posted March 1, 2013 Round 3 of masking is done. This paint job has finally stopped fighting me. Just need to wetsand it a bit to knock down the edges. Thanx for lookin' Jeremy
CWD Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Looks great, good job sticking with it! Nothing more maddening than having two different paint jobs not getting along, especially at the tail end of the process. I've had it happen to me while painting a $200 goalie-style catcher's mask... at the clear coat stage... after a day of detailed airbrush work. kc7wzl speaks wisdom, test 1st!
gautreau Posted March 4, 2013 Author Posted March 4, 2013 Thanx I appreciate that. Well it didn't go so well with the body.I talked it over with my friend who asked me to build this and he said to touck up the blow out and he's happy. So I'm off to start touching up the blown out spots. Thanx for lookin' Jeremy
FrankieP Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Love the truck! looking forward to the finished build.. I'd love to learn how to cast my own pieces, and make a long box, I have an 86 Chevy c10 and would love to have a model
lghtngyello03 Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 I know this is an old thread...but where can you find the kit that you used to build this out of??? I have an 85 1:1 that I'd love to replicate.
Jordan White Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 I know this is an old thread...but where can you find the kit that you used to build this out of??? I have an 85 1:1 that I'd love to replicate.Its the AMT '84 GMC that is slated to be re released sometime this year.
