Thanks. Thank you. Thanks. Here's the spoons side by side. The Rust Acrylic Enamel is out. The Testors is a lacquer not an enamel like I said before, and I think it looks the best. The Createx looks ok, it is not as glossy as the Testors for sure, I can control it better in the airbrush, but right now I'm leaning toward the Testors.

Got the color back on it. I will not be using the Rustoleum lacquer again. I have some Testor's enamel clear I tested on a spoon with the same paint and it did fine. probably will use that. But I also picked up a small bottle of Createx gloss clear. I think I will spoon test it and see what it looks like.

Thanks guys. I will probably keep priming my bodies but not the small parts.

I use the Mr. CementS, get it at hobby lobby. Just as good as the Tamiya, which is not sold at my HL. I also use the Extreme Power Medium sold at hobby lobby, good stuff. And I always keep good old super glue around, lots of choices at Wally World.

Looks great. Green is my favorite color.

Fantastic build. Looks great. I'm working on the street version of the 55 Bel Air now. I like the painted bumpers, may try that on mine.

Looks real nice.

I have been putting on a coat of primer on all my parts before painting, usually Rustoleum 2x grey. Today I painted a chassis with Createx Pearl paint without any primer first and I think it looks much better without the primer. If the parts are washed and prepped good before paint is primer even necessary? I know I've lost detail on some parts because of the primer. I'm thinking of going with no primer even on the body now.

Thank you David. I'm going to try and get the paint back on it this week. Still not sure what clear I will be using.

Thanks Chaz.

I love it. Super cool. Really nice work.

Ok, after about a week I think it's done, maybe I can try it again. Been working on the interior.

Body is still soaking, but looks like I may be able to get most of it off. I got some Testors Clear Lacquer spray that I will test on some spoons I painted with the Createx. If I don't like that I'll probably just go back to using Revive It floor polish for the clear coat.

Got this for Christmas but only starting playing around with it today practicing on some spoons. I have been using a Paasche H, and it does a great job. But I really like this Talon. Going to take a while to get use to the double action. It is much easier to clean than the H and has a nice large paint cup.

The purple stuff seems to be slowly taking it off. May take a few days, but I'm no hurry, too cold to paint in my shed anyway. Has anyone used Testors Glosscote Spray Lacquer?

If I can get this body sorted out I've got some Wicked Colors Phathalo Green I'm going to try on it. Not sure what clear I'll use though. Does Createx make a clear?

I finally got the Camaro together, but it's not right. May have been something I did wrong somewhere. The Mustang would not fit all the way down on the chassis and I can't find what's holding it back. I may take out the glass and see if that's it.

Got it in the pond now, will see what it does. I actually have another one of these kits, but I was going to build it different than this one. May have to use it now.

The weather was good, don't think that was the problem. I started out putting on a light coat, then went back over it with a heavier coat. It looked like it was going to level out, then did that. Maybe I'll just leave it like that and call it gator skin green. Not sure if the purple pond will take it off. I don't think I can sand it out.

This is what I used. But I had also used it on the 97 Mustang which was painted with Createx Transparent Red over a black base. It did fine with that.

Something went wrong with my clear.....what do I do now.......start over? I used this Rustoleum lacquer on another body before this one and it turned out great, Don't know what happened.

Thanks. I'll be using Rustoleum clear lacquer.

I'm going to try foiling some of the trim work this week but was wondering if I should put on the clear before or after foiling.

Thanks Chaz. Thank you.

Looks great. Nice work.
