Burnout Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 At least that's what I was shooting for. Mostly a combination of Revell '32 Ford parts. The body is from Reps & Miniatures, the engine is from the Rat Roaster and the rear wheels are from Comp Resins. Thanks for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry P. Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 By "bare metal" do you mean bare, unpainted metal body? Wouldn't that be a pretty bright silver, and not dark gray? More like the color of the wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ1971 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) By "bare metal" do you mean bare, unpainted metal body? Wouldn't that be a pretty bright silver, and not dark gray? More like the color of the wheels? I was going to say the same thing. Doesn't look like "bare metal" at all to me. Looks flat black. Bare metal, as Harry has said, is silver-ish. If that was the look you were going for.. You failed. It's quite clear, on close-up inspection, it's been painted. I know you've left the "chop" weld lines in, as well as some patch-up work, & that's what makes it evident the car has been painted. Now this is a bare metal hot rod...

sak Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Technically ..bare metal doesn't mean "silver-ish" . Because different metals can be different colors and sheens. That being said...it needs to be more silverish.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Technically ..bare metal doesn't mean "silver-ish" . Because different metals can be different colors and sheens. The steell that car bodies are stamped of is a silver color. http://corporate.ford.com/news-center/press-releases-detail/pr-return-of-a-legend2658-iconic-1940-37275 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 The metal that car bodies are stamped of is silver. Yup. The nekkiid metal is "silver" whether it's steel or aluminum. It's also "silver" after it's been stripped and sanded / bodyworked, or if it's been built from sheet with English wheels, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Kucaba Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Tamiya has a color in their AS line, AS-12, Bare Metal Silver. Looks very convincing. Car looks interesting especially the engine. Might have to get one of those kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry P. Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 I like it a lot,I have seen bare metal that looks black ish,Try some rustroy or similar on bare steel and see it go black. Metal that's been chemically treated isn't "bare metal" anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnout Posted August 6, 2014 Author Share Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) Thank you all for the kind comments. UncleScott - the grill is stainless steel mesh available from McMaster Carr. Obviously I missed my mark going for the bare metal look. I just couldn't figure out how to turn my resin body into real metal so I settled for painting. My bad. Some of my inspiration can be seen below. One man's silver... http://image.hotrod.com/f/featuredvehicles/hrdp_1303_can_o_worms_1932_ford_deuce_coupe/46366398/hrdp-1303-01%2Bcan-o-worms-1932-ford-deuce-coupe%2B1932-ford-deuce-coupe-side-view.jpg Edited August 6, 2014 by Burnout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a cool rod, just not the effect you were after. If you still want to get that "bare metal" look, I'd suggest using Alcad's range of metal paint, either steel/stainless steel etc... You can get the bare metal effect on resin, as you would on regular kits, it's all in the prep' ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
