cherokeered Posted November 11, 2012 Posted November 11, 2012 "aint nothing special"????? That's an amazing paint job and the stance and wheels are perfect.....great job! I would also like to know how you got that smooth of a finish.
Cool Hand Posted November 11, 2012 Author Posted November 11, 2012 Thankyou very much for all the replies and comments,as always they are greatly appreciated. Reason I stated it "aint nothing special" is due to it being a curbside (no engine or chassis detail) Is there clear on it or just really smooth base? No clear Brodie. And yes,before the black was applied it had an ultra smooth base (wet sanded the Mr Hobby 1000 primer/surfacer with 2000 up to 8000. How about some details on how you did that slick paint job? Maybe a mini-tutorial? As stated above wet sanding the primer is the main factor for getting the TS-14 to go on so smooth. When I start a new build that will be painted black,il try piece together a tutorial showing the process I use when doing black paint jobs.
kerc Posted November 11, 2012 Posted November 11, 2012 Wow. Amazing paint. Looks very real. Love the stance, and the understated elegance.
shucky Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 Luke that's an amazing looking Chevelle. Your pictures are fabulous also. Everything is just so right with this! Love it.
dimebolt Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 Nice build Luke. The paint is spectacular man. Corey
kekefe Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 Without a clear coat?!?!?? This must be a joke... Amazing work..
Steven Zimmerman Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 If you know how to paint, solid colors don't NEED a clearcoat. This gentleman knows how to paint.....
Daglove15 Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 dude how were you able to slam it like that? I want to learn how to make builds like this!
mopar68 Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 Missed this one Luke, and......... As always, you knocked it out of the park! The 19's suit it just right, very tidy. Love that rear panel Excellent job mate, looking forward to the next one
Cool Hand Posted November 16, 2012 Author Posted November 16, 2012 Sorry for the delay in replying. Once again thank you for the additional replies and comments. Without a clear coat?!?!?? This must be a joke... Amazing work.. No joke,it does not have a clear coat and it has not been polished. As Steve Z'man said, when know/learn how to apply a solid colour correctly,no clear or polishing is needed. And thanks Z'man for the compliment about my paint skills. dude how were you able to slam it like that? I want to learn how to make builds like this! Well if you are not concerned with chassis detail/parts or an engine,its fairly easy to slam any kit. Pm me if you have a car/build in mind that you want to slam,and il try help you work out how to lower it.
JasonFL Posted November 16, 2012 Posted November 16, 2012 Man I wish I could build something that quick and make it look that good. This is beautiful, love the color combo, stance, and again with those great looking photos, just the overall package. Nice build
Steve H Posted March 30 Posted March 30 Luke!! Thanks for posting the link to this one, I hadn’t seen it. You sure know how to lay down a wickedly smooooooooth paint job mate. Thought I should give this a bump. 1
STU111 Posted March 30 Posted March 30 G’day Luke, I noticed the date of the original post and I see you have been laying down glass like black finishes for some time. I reckon l could comb my hair ( assuming I still had some left ) in the reflection! Oh, by the way, that is a tuff looking Chevelle. 👍🏻 1
