hjracing Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 Great progres! What kind of metalizer paints do you use? Keep it coming!
frozono Posted November 15, 2013 Author Posted November 15, 2013 Great progres! What kind of metalizer paints do you use? Keep it coming! I used Vallejo oiled steel on the transmission and in the top I used Vallejo Air aluminum. For the block I used the black primer from the same brand. 95% of the paint that I'm using is Vallejo Acrylics........... . Another pic.......... In the past I had a lot of issues with acrylics. But I'm very impress with this brand colors are awesome and the primers are excellent..........
Dinky Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 Nice progress! Do you have used Vallejo glosh varnish? Thats the only Vallejo stuff i dont like :-)
frozono Posted November 17, 2013 Author Posted November 17, 2013 Thanks everyone............ I am thinking to use one of this pieces for the wheels. But I don't know witch one.................... First one........... Second one.............. Any subjection................... I will check the space on the back wheels and the body................ I will post more pics....................
crazyrichard Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 hmm i think the forst one , just the bullet , this elaves some depth in the wheel ... both look fine though

frozono Posted November 19, 2013 Author Posted November 19, 2013 This is a little bit more of my project................

I didn't did to much........ first I encounter a situation with my airbrush...........I fix it. And today I worked on N.Y. I left my house at 4:00 A.M from Quincy M.A. and got back at 5:40 P.M. I drove both ways..................... Tomorrow Connecticut.................... I will post more pics.....................
Mooneyzs Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 I have to agree with the first one is my vote for the wheel cover. That chassis is looking nice and so is the engine.

Awesome progress buddy ...........Thanks Hi every one.........yesterday I did some work on the Merc.......... I painted some parts in chrome. I used the Alclad paint.......... I prepared the parts for the paint....... but this time I did it different........ I primed in Vallejo black primer and clear coated with Future..........

I follow the manufacturer instructions........ came heavy....... I will use more PSI......... This is a look of the some of the small parts........... . I like the classic look........... I will post more pics..........

Jantrix Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 Luis, there is a fitment issue with this kit concerning the battery and the valve cover. Some test fitting might be a good idea before you go much further.
