Porscheman Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) I was starting this one yesterday morning at 8:00 am when NTS posted his incredible Lark & Chris Craft, but it didn't discourage me from completing this at 5:00 last night. I painted this in Tamiya's Coral Blue (no clear) with a Testor's darker teal interior with black inserts, Tamiya's primer white top cover and of course the windshield was sprayed 3 very light coat of Tamiya's clear blue. All paint was done out of the can. 10 minutes after painting, I polished the body using Novas #2 and then The Treatment model car wax. This a nice vintage snap kit for only having 32 parts. Thanks for looking. Al Edited November 7, 2013 by Porscheman

realgone58 Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 That's one sharp little Lark! Perfect color on it too. I don't know how you get paint to set up so quickly.
ToyLvr Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 Geez, Al, you're killing me with those one day builds! I can spends weeks working on a project and can't get it to look that good. I look forward to seeing you post new stuff!
slusher Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 Great looking build Alan and love the two tone interior. Very nice work..
Harry P. Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 How can you possibly be polishing the paint 10 minutes after spraying it? I have had parts in a dehydrator for many hours, even days, before the paint was really dry.

I have had parts in a dehydrator for many hours, even days, before the paint was really dry. I don't what to tell you Harry, Tamiya sprays dry to touch in 4 minutes and to polish in 10. Testors Lacquers are about 20 minutes to polish. It takes a little longer for Testors because of the clear coat. Remember I paint all coats within 1 minute of each other, including the clear. I also paint outside and wind dry it. Works for me. Al Edited November 8, 2013 by Porscheman
