Finished spray painting my Impala here are some pics

I don't know how good my camera is. The car is sapphire blue metal flake. It is a testors brand spray paint. Nobody where I live sells Tamiya paint. Tell me what you guys think. I don't really know if you are into old cars or not.

Lookin' good!

I like the color, very muscle car-ish. Suits it very nicely

Yeah I wish I had a better camera though. It will probably take me about a month or two to finish this model. It takes for ever when you go to school.

Colour looks great JE123!!! Is it a basecoat that needs lacquer or is it shiny out the can?

No, of course not. My parents would really be pissed if I did that.

I do plan on going over the model a couple times with some Glosscote.

Looks good . I'm currently working on a 96 Impalla - I just have to paint the Body and it's done. But, to paint the body, I have to clean off my airbrushing desk - and thats TOO much work at this point .

No. It is just a regular AMT/Ertl kit. I haven't really worked on it lately. Hopefully I will get to it today.
