Six-Fo Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 I'm actually selling the body to one dude because I'm not happy with the paintjob and overall quality. He'll give me a new body so I can try something different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six-Fo Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 Something I've been up to, sold the previous paintjob and got new body. Sorry for the blurry picture, it was taken with dishwasher: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadkill2525 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Man the paint is just fantastic. I looked around but could not find any one selling the zero paint in the US. Is there a dealer that sells in the US? Zero Paints is done by Steve Hemming who runs Hiroboy.com, the only place to purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 What kind of tape are you using for the intricate masking, Slim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six-Fo Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 Thanks guys. What kind of tape are you using for the intricate masking, Slim? I cut them out from ordinary masking tape, comes out much cheaper. I just tape two blades together and then I can cut thin lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six-Fo Posted April 15, 2012 Author Share Posted April 15, 2012 I freakin hate it when tape pulls some paint off. Everything was perfect but the tape had to screw up. I dont know what to do anymore, fixing with brush didint work out as you can see from pictures and I just dont want to start all over with primer and stuff.

DANB Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I feel your pain its rubbish like that that stalls projects and pushes you into starting another. I think i must try doing one of these kits soon, i have not yet tried paint jobs like the ones in this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six-Fo Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 I could really swear right now, but I dont want to get banned so I try to hold myself back Anyways, heres the story: I keep messing up the body color the more i build this car. I did hell of a preparation this time to prevent all this, but i dont know what the hell is going on. First the quality was perfect, but messing up everything and fixing it brings the quality down First the pinstripe tape peeled off paint, tried to fix it, but quality suffered bigtime This is the comparsion of the previous paintjob, which i didnt work so hard on primer and surface preparation, but it didnt peel anything off. And it has NEVER happened to me before, that a god ###### BMF peels off paint, i've only finished 3-4 trims and already these have happened: Whats worst of it: I sold previous body because I was not happy with roof paintjob, but overall body quality was pretty ###### good. Now I managed to make a perfect quality paintjob(i will show it in few weeks maybe) but body quality gets worse and worse every day. Makes me wanna smash the whole thing to pieces and build a new one, but I have no time for that because model car show is 2 weeks away.

rustybill1960 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I am very impressed with Your "tape work" Dude! I should think that that would drive a person to "maddness!" I am gonna give it a try on a lowrider I have planned! Your patients with this paint work is just as impressive as your skills! Thank You for sharing with Us all A real knock out preformance Man!!

Jantrix Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I feel your pain. I use the low-tack blue tape and had it pull Duplicolor off my Studebaker hood while I was making off a stripe. I got so pissed I just chucked the whole thing back in the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six-Fo Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 Okay, I decided I will throw this car in dot-4 after model car show and will try again. So no point of keeping this paintjob in secret anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesW Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Siim, before you foil, lay down a thin coat of clear, that'll help. I always clearbefore AND after foil. Never had a problem with the foil pulling up paint doin it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
