hedotwo Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 39 minutes ago, Snake45 said: I didn't find it to be particularly fragile. The bumpers/grilles I used it on held up well to normal handling and black-washing and so forth. I'd like to try Spaz-Stix but it's not in my area and it's expensive. Krylon foil is available at Hobby Lobby and the price isn't horrible. It's not perfect, but it's pretty darn good. You know, I don't use an acrylic/water based wash so maybe that was my problem. My go-to wash is Tamiya's panel marker and I may have tried using that. But I know in my case it didn't like buffing the times I've used it, but it's pretty BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH shiny without.

Nice Rich!! These '64 Bonnevilles are getting exceptionally expensive and hard to find. Hope you got a good deal on them. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anytime I've tried to polish a silver paint in the past, I just get a dark gray mess. I suspect this would be the same thing. If you want to buff something, use Metalizer. OK, thanks. By the way, just found another Chevelle body for you - email sent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually first heard about it in your double ‘67 Impala resto thread. I’ll be using it on some parts for the ‘64 Pace Car here soon. 12 hours ago, crazyjim said: Tyler - you could have purchased makeup applicator swabs at Walgreens for much, much cheaper. 11 hours ago, NOBLNG said: I found some good ones at an electronics supply store also. Huh, I didn’t even think to look at those places. Well, now I know for future reference. Thanks much for the info, Jim and Greg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89AKurt Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 In another thread, was turned onto this book, so of course..... (hint of my next project) Got resin that should not set off so fast from MicroMark, and pearl tweezers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stitchdup Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Want to talk about rare vw kits? I really liked the amt scirocco kit but it looked really small copared to my other kits. Then this popped up on the auction site. I'll be mixing it with a revell mk1 and trying to make it into something closer to a stock body using the revell body that will be leftover from a c1 trans kit. I also got this 64 caddy built up/promo that will be getting an ls engine and big rims, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take a crack at guessing. Judging mainly from the Turbo-Hydro trans on the BBC, could it be an MPC '68 Impala converitible with the doors and trunk opened? If so, shame there's no bumpers or hood, unless they're in another pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Just snagged a fairly complete not-too-bad gluebomb one of these. Not something I'd ever lusted after, but it wanted me to buy it to do a kinda Mako Shark what-if M/SP car or early funny. This one's going to be fun.
