Here is one for Al Huffman It’s a Car!
I heard you wanted to see more car stuff. I am experimenting with Tamiya TS17 Gloss
Aluminium, TS Candy Lime Green, and Testors 1113 Dark Metallic Green on a very inexpensive Lindberg Chevy. This is really a (how much Future floor wax does it take)? to get a deep shine. The Lime Green was just misted from the lower part of the body for a highlight. There was a fad a few years back where guys were painting the (just two colors) hot rods. No chrome basics. I will have to re- scribe some areas, but I am having fun.
Sorry if the pics are a bit fuzzy. But you get the basic idea.

Lookin' forward to seein' the end result. I assume it's gonna be a "low rider"?
Oh Yea, a tail dragger for sure.

Thanks for posting this, Steve, it looks interesting, maybe it's too late for this build, but Tamiya also do a spray can TS65 Pearl Clear which might be useful...
Thanks George, I was looking at the pearl but this was a exercise in Future clear coating. See! now you have me wanting to get some TS65.

Awesome paint job! That is some fine Detroit steel eye candy!
Thanks Morne.

First time on the site today & what do I see: a nice shiny automobile. I like that Steve. I assume this is Lindberg's reissue of the 1/32nd Pyro kit.
You do have a nice gloss here. How many coats of Future are on it & do you apply it with a brush?
I thought you might like this. Yes it is the reissue. I wanted something that if I messed up I wouldn't start crying. Haa Haa! There are three coats applied with a wide very soft brush. I might add more just for kicks.

I learned thehard way to allow at least 24 hrs between coats.
What happens? I haven't had an issue.

I did a very early Mongram hydroplane "Dipsy Doodle" in acrylics & the paint leeched after a couple of same day Future applications. I suspect it might have been a reaction with the type of plastic. It was a cereal mail order premium & seemed like a cross between acetate & styrene. It still had the car promo smell after 50 years.
CA Steve,
George Barrister would be in awe of this. Love the paint scheme.

I meant Barris
I knew that. Now relax Frank. Breath in threw the nose and out threw the mouth. I think I spelled Threw wrong, Oh well..
have a great night.
