kincer Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) My wife bought me this for Xmas, I wanted something simple to practice on before I started a more advanced kit again. This is the Revell Snap-Tite Camaro Concept car, I just completed the interior today. I have the body all prepped for primer and will be painting that soon at work. Here are some pics of the interior, it's amazing what a little patience can do, I always tried to hurry the process when I was a kid because I couldn't wait to see what it was gonna look like. I used a silver fine point Sharpie for the interior details. Edited January 10, 2015 by kincer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kincer Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 Welcome back! What color are you planning for paint? I need to get one of those silver Sharpies... I have a few cans of Duplicolor 1988 Ford Ranger silver that I'm gonna use up since I already have it, I'm guessing there will be a few Snap-Tite models painted silver lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auto paint is too hot to go directly onto the plastic, so it will etch into the surface and make a mess. Auto primer, like two coats, seals in the plastic so your auto paint goes on smooth. It's perfectly OK to use Duplicolor from the spray can on models, in fact I do mostly that because you will get a really nice finish.

kincer Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 Ok it's been a looooong time but I finally got back to work on this, got a couple coats of primer on this and scuffed and ready for paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kincer Posted May 26, 2016 Author Share Posted May 26, 2016 Ok I got my basecoat laid down, gonna let this dry a day or two then wet sand lightly and shoot with two coats of clear. I'm hoping this will look like Danno's first Camaro on Hawaii 5-O. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they're permanent on paper, but styrene or paint is my question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they're permanent on paper, but styrene or paint is my question?These new sharpies work really well, just be sure to clean with alchohol first and if possible you can scuff the area lightly with a scotchbrite pad.

kincer Posted May 28, 2016 Author Share Posted May 28, 2016 I know this Snapper doesn't have much detail but trying to make this as nice as possible, so a little extra detail here at the wheels. A couple shots with the body setting on the chassis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrObsessive Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Dave, first a big welcome back! Second, that's a very good comeback effort! That silver is super smooth and sharp! I liked how GM translated the concept into what became the production car. My only gripe is that they made a post coupe out of it instead of a true pillarless hardtop. Nevertheless, this is one of my favorite Camaros, and while the newest '16 car is nice, I still like this last one better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
