Porsche 356A 1500 GS Speedster
Ok guys, here's my next project. The Fujimi Porsche 356A 1500 GS Speedster:
.jpg) %20(Custom).jpg) %20(Custom).jpg) %20(Custom).jpg) This model should be a pleasure to build I think. I never build an EM kit before so this will be my first experience. I really love this car and this time I'll keep it stock with maybe some extra detailing for the engine and interior. I will paint it Silver as the reference pics I found on the internet. .jpg)       Kris.

Re: Porsche 356A 1500 GS Speedster
Finally I had some time to work further on this nice model.
First I sanded the moldlines and primered the body: %20(Custom).jpg) %20(Custom).jpg) Than I painted the body with AstralSilver from Mercedes-Benz. It's a very fine metallic silver which suits the old Porsche very well. After that I clearcoated the body with Sikkens 2K Clear. Now it's very shiny and I love the result. As some of you know, silver is a very difficult paint! %20(Custom).jpg) %20(Custom).jpg) %20(Custom).jpg) %20(Custom).jpg) %20(Custom).jpg) Kris.

Re: Porsche 356A 1500 GS Speedster
That paint has layed down really well. Silver is well known to be one of the hardest colors to apply.

Re: Porsche 356A 1500 GS Speedster
Nice paint! I usually shy away from automotive metallics but, like you said, that flake is totally scale. BTW, check the windshield in your kit. The tool has a reputation for leaving cold seams right in the middle.

Re: Porsche 356A 1500 GS Speedster
Nice paint job. Did you get the mercedes silver from zero paints too? Or did you order as a touch up bottle from another supplier? I'd be interested in purchasing some.

No it's not zero paints. It-s Sikkens waterbased automotive paint. I got it from a friend that works in a car body shop. Mayve a local body shop can help you with this kind of paints? Kris.
