Wow

You put me to shame

now there's a sweet color for the vette :sunglasse what brand is it?

That's some mighty fine paintin'!!:sunglasse

The paint is Testors Silver Base followed by Testors Sapphire Blue. No clear or polish on it at all

What thinner do you use for that paint? I actually heard u could use laquer thinner with it just fine and it comes out very shiny like that.

no thinner its all rattlecan

wow... Testors rattle cans eh. i dont believe it, to much detail left in the molding;) Nice Paint!

That looks stunning I want to know how you got it to shine like that without clear or polish?? :eek:

WOAH, Testors rattle cans?!?! Did you use primer? I better get my ass to my LHS, they are blowin out most of their enamel testor cans!!!

Looking great! Now hurry up and finish it! :iceslolan Lets see it done! :icon16:
Seriously though, I notice you posted in my thread in the "Car Modeling" board. What did you use to paint the aluminum parts?
I was thinking about wiring the engine on mine (I am building a blue one too, as well as a black one) but I wasn`t sure since it looks like the fuel rail covers cover them up. Are you able to see them under the rail covers?

I just posted up some pics of my engine, as well as the reference pics I used. You'll be able to see a little of the wires; as easy as it is to do, I think it's worth it.

What did you use for wires? And did you paint them? Yours look much better than mine! I'm gonna stop posting progress if you keep one-upping me! :tongue:

Well for wires I used This stuff from Radioshack called Wire Wrapping Wire. Nope they came in red, I made mine Covers Removeable so I can take them on and off to show off the wiring

Did you use metalizers on the engine? Did you have any problem with them "eating" or etching the plastic like most of us have?

nope I used Rustoleum Aluminum paint. Ive been using this stuff for years. It comes in a pint sized can

Looks better then mine too. lol..Keep up the awsome progress man!
