What did you have to do to prep the body before you strayed this? What primer did you use and did you spray a clear over the top? I used a comet scrub on the body,followed with soap and water. For primer, it's cheap touch and tone hardware store light gray primer. All airbrushed.craft paints have some good colors available, but to get a thinner that will actually help the paint stick was my biggest problem. For the clear, it's createx 4050 thinned with 4011, three coats and 2 solid days to cure followed by novus polish. If you need more information feel free to p.m. me.

Patience is the key, but you seem to know that already. David G. Patience is an understatement, for sure. I think working with metal all day helps with this part, I kinda know how it "behaves", but this is so thin you have to be a step ahead of it.

johnyrotten Posted Wednesday at 01:32 AM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 01:32 AM Finished the foil with the exception of the wheel openings. Tried foiling the emblem on the back,worked 'till it didn't. I'll hit that with molotow I think. Couldn't resist throwing it together to get a look at it, so far not too bad, I like the look. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David G. Posted Thursday at 12:23 PM Share Posted Thursday at 12:23 PM It looks great John! While you have the Molotow out, don't forget the badges on the fenders behind the wheels. David G. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
