o-man Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Used this kit To resemble this car I'm not a "rivet counter" but this thing has quite a few inaccuracies. The interior and wheels appear to be from a previous or two generations earlier 911. The seats had more sinkholes in them than FL. Painted Rustoleum Maui Blue which appears pretty close to the factory Riviera Blue. Interior painted mostly in gray primer with Future used for seats, console, and panels. Chassis painted flat and semi-gloss black with metallic gray for the control arms.
MrObsessive Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 The seats had more sinkholes in them than FL. :lol: Gorgeous build just the same! Excellent finish on that one!
Scalper Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Very nice. turned out nice. Fujimi is the prosche gods.
Belugawrx Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Beautiful paint.. have you ever thought of scribing and washing your panel lines? It will really bring out the detail Nice build Bruce
Ace-Garageguy Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Yes, beautiful paint indeed...especially for Rustoleum. What kind of primer is under it, and how long did you let it dry before (I assume) color-sanding and polishing?
Rob Hall Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Looks sharp. I don't remember that RoG kit...did they also do a coupe of that generation (993) ?
o-man Posted January 22, 2014 Author Posted January 22, 2014 Bill, I used Walmart cheap flat white spray paint that was sanded with 2000 grit sandpaper. The Rustoleum is slow to dry. I think it was between 4-6 hours before I could touch it. It dried to such a hard shine, that I barely put any polish on it the next day. Bruce, I didn't think to scribe the panel lines. I think the paint covers so well that a wash wouldn't show.
bigbluesd Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) Very nice, love that shade of blue! What did you polish with? Edited January 22, 2014 by bigbluesd
PappyD340 Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 WOW Oscar that one is gorgeous, well done!!
o-man Posted January 29, 2014 Author Posted January 29, 2014 Very nice, love that shade of blue! What did you polish with? Brandon, sorry it took me so long to reply, but I couldn't get quotes to work in IE. i used Liquid Glass polish. Not sure its is still available; I've had this can for 15 years.
Danno Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Beautiful!! Certainly have been a lot of gorgeous models showing up with Rustoleum paint lately. Must be much better formula than back in the old days!
