jjsipes Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 My newest victim. Peak Antifreeze Pontiac kit, Powerslide decals, Testors White Lacquer. No problems this go around with decals like my last 2 builds. No clear as of yet, debating on trying Pledge Floor Gloss on this and see what it does for me since it didn't go correctly the first time I used it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjsipes Posted June 1, 2020 Author Share Posted June 1, 2020 Getting closer. Had one spoiler painted black but didn't fit the curve of the deck lid properly. Had to dig another one out, need to paint it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodwrench3 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 RE: "Testors white lacquer" -- any primer under it ? If so, which ? What gray did you use for the chassis ? Looks awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrenchr Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 great idea on the chassis, never thought of that for paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodwrench3 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 I was kind of curious why you decided to use the Testors lacquer paint rather than Tamiya TS lacquer ? (since you used the Tamiya primer) Just curious if there was a particular reason. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobby lobby has Tamiya primer but no paints, they do have Testors though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randyc Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Looks good. I built one way back when with Fred Cady decals. Testors white with testors clear, so it turned "testors yellow" over time. It's taking me a few a tries to get used to the Pledge stuff, but seems like a workable clear. I have been brushing it on with a wide soft brush. Works pretty well and I don't have to clean my airbrush with a separate cleaning process. I'm not good with acrylics of any sort in the airbrush yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
