mikemopar70 Posted June 9, 2013 Posted June 9, 2013 Here's my last completion! A 2012 Corvette from AMT (Showroom replicas) It's beeen painted Tamiya bright red spray can with Testor's one coat lacquer clear. I'm pleased with the results with these paints, i didn't have acces to my airbrush at the moment so i used only spray paints and bottles acrylics (brush painted)

Looks like the Tamiya color and Testors laquer is a winner!!! Regards Bill (Duntov) Yes, it works great, the testor's one coat lacquer clear is polishing down smooth as glass, i used my polishing clothes and meguiar's fine cut coupound before applying a Meguiar's NXT gen. tech wax... I loved the finish so bad, i couldn't resist buying 3 more cans of this clear. But you have to be careful when buffing because it's very thin and it's easy to get thru to primer on edges. The time period, i built this one, i didn't have a workshop, my airbrush and compressor were in storage, because didn't have enough space in my last home!! But now, i moved and i have a room to play again, but i will build a few more with this spary paint technique in a near future!!
Chris White Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 Beautiful paint, I'd swear that Carl painted it. It looks that good
