Comparison between Tamiya and Rustoleum
JollySipper replied to bobthehobbyguy's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I can usually get fair results with the Rustoleum paints, but you HAVE to have a good even coat of Their primer on! Don't trust that because the can says 2n1, that you don't need a separate primer......... This is their flat black primer with two coats of their high-gloss black. I didn't need to polish, but it might wouldn't hurt for me to..... I'm using the 'oleum on this project because the depth of the shine is about right for a vintage auto..... If I was going after a more 'showy' paint job, I would use DupliColor's paint system........ -
Very cool idea with the decals........... This all looks great!

That's a cool car, Anton! It does look a lot better with the chrome grille and headlight surrounds......... -

What did you see on the road today?

Some time back I worked painting a house in a nice neighborhood down in Wilmington...... Their neighbor had one he was letting get some air one day...... They really are sharp cars in person! -

Yep, that was them! They were kind of a faux wire wheel that looked a Lot better without the spokes...... -
Black Cherry paint

With DupliColor, the color of the primer will greatly affect the final color! Those Perfect Match paints are pretty thin......... -

Does this car have those 'basket' wheels, but with the basket removed? I've always liked that look! Nothing said 'low budget hotrod' better......... -
Johnny Lightning Packaging mistake
JollySipper replied to Falcon Ranchero's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
Nathan, man! These are probably worth at least buying two of each.......... One to open, one to shelve! My old man has a little toy from McDonald's that is about 40 years or so old. It's the Hamburgular in a little pull-back car, still in it's blister (on a card! ). They were so mass-produced, but went to kids who destroyed them....... There's not any telling what it's worth (maybe not much), but it is worth more in it's original package....... -

I saw this on Wednesday......... I used to watch this little show called 'Truth or Scare' that she hosted. It was kinda like a scary Unsolved Mysteries for kids..... It seemed she never was one to draw attention to herself, just your typical respectable young lady......

More progress! Got the fender unit painted and a decent start on the wheel/tire combo...... I decided on green for the wheels, figuring that is a period-correct color for this. The green is another 'short cuts' Krylon color..... The fenders are Rustoleum flat black primer with two coats of their high gloss black......
