Tom Geiger Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Yea, that green paint deserved to be stripped! Blotchy with no primer under it. Pretty standard bad paint job from us kids in 1968! I'm sure it came off easy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89AKurt Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I do like checking out the beauty salon supply shop, their nail boards are really good quality compared to the dollar store. And the nail 'polish' colors are pretty cool too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Got my first shipment of micro LEDs to test. Man, these things are small. Wanna do individual side-marker lights or instruments? These otter get it. Frankly, I don't expect all of 'em to work, or to last forever (so cheap, I don't see how they could) but damm man, they are SMALL. Working voltage is 2.8-3.4 DC (naturally). 20 for less than 10 bucks, including shipping. A bonus is that each little LED has two insulated leads of .011" OD, about 200 mm long. Perfect for old-school 7 mm ignition wires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tropical Shine sticks are nice, but expensive. Best I've ever used are the TRIM brand but they're hard to find. Walmart doesn't have the right ones anymore, and it looks like KMart just closed them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cut with lacquer thinner and airbrush. There are some really cool colors available you'll never see anywhere else, and often one manufacturer will make so many different reds (for instance), you can hit exactly the color you want.

I saw the bottle with Essie in the photo and thought it was nail polish since you were writing about the sanding sticks which look like the type they use in the beauty parlors. I kind of gather that maybe I’m not up to level of this forum with the questions I ask. I’ll refrain rom asking any in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It helps to use the quote feature, if you are directing a question to one person. I see the discussion was mostly about sanding sticks. Using nail 'polish' was learned about 30 years ago. I think for the price, it's better than ordering special model paints. I get the unusual colors, not what is already offered as model paint. My first, and still only street rod, was painted with a pearl pink. First contest got a special award, Paint Job Mostly Likely To Cause Globull Warming.
