MAN this thing is looking good Jeremy. That mock up you did on Page 3 looks absolutely killer and your exhaust system has a very realistic look to it. What did you use to paint the exhaust pipes?

Joe, what’s happening brother!

There’s quite a bit going on with those pipes.  The pipes themselves are brass tubing and the mufflers are aluminum tubing.

 Brass was painted with Alclaad (I don’t remember what color but probably dark aluminum).  The mufflers were left unfinished.  Nothing looks more like metal than real metal.👍

The staining is a mix of clear Tamiya acrylic blue, red and orange, all blended together with Tamiya weathering powders.  
They aren’t perfect by any stretch, but for a first attempt, I’m pretty pleased with the outcome.
