Katsusauce Posted February 4, 2023 Author Share Posted February 4, 2023 Okay, after looking at my test spoons shot with a couple of different color pearls, I've decided to leave the Tropical Glitz "Coral Reef" base coat alone and shoot 2k clear right over it. Thanks everyone for your input ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve H Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Looks awesome Derek! Like Greg said, you’ll never have a problem finding that beauty in a parking lot. The paint job is killer. Very nice details in the engine bay. On a side note, did you have any luck finding the Mr Hobby matte clear? Cheers, Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm experimenting with it on different colors I have on hand on sprayed spoons. So far I'm really liking what I see. Thank you so much for sharing the info with me. ?

David G. Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Excellent detail work in the engine bay! I like the gold radiator tank, it gives the whole car a "Las Vegas" feel. David G. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
