hahaha.....daaaammnn.....that DOES look messed up....my old ITR looked waaay worse though....it had bondo all over it and it wasn't smooth or anything....hahaa.......sorry...but that's funny

OMG!? It brings tears to my eyes!:cry:

No offense, but it looks like you dropped it into the fryer or something, it looks really bad. Bubbles and spots cover the whole thing.

It's good to know that you are re-doing it and hopefully, it will look much much better.;)

OH so you got the spray version, huh!

Go to the automotive section and you'll see that CSC is available in big huge gallon containers that you pour.

hahaha.....daaaammnn.....that DOES look messed up....my old ITR looked waaay worse though....it had bondo all over it and it wasn't smooth or anything....hahaa.......sorry...but that's funny

..........y dun u post some pic of ur messed up ITR so I can laugh about it.....

By any chance, did you brush paint that...using a rock as the brush?

No offence, but you noobs better watch your words...everybody makes mistake, and its not funny by making fun of people that way. And the poor guy just lost his friend...so put a sock in it. Besides...we don't welcome people flaming here.

Call me crazy but it looks somehow cool to me... i mean it won't look good when the car will be finished , but if i were doing something like an autoshop diorama or so i'll put it (the body alone) in the backyard... i'll maybe also burn the hood with a lighter a little , to pretend the engine burned and blown up...

It's a good thing you start it over btw. everyone makes mistakes , i'm sure it'll look good after you finish it...

did the CSC get the job done in stripping the old paint?

Can u tell me the process u used to paint it - what paint did u use and where did u paint it - has it got wet with water?

Im sorry its got messed up - hopefully the csc will work - Then your baby can be shinin'

Im sure we will all help as much as possible - The only thing is that you can learn from this and perhaps change your approach next time?

Jimbob

There's a lesson to be learned here

ALWAYS USE PRIMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :devil:

I just hope my Altezza doesn't turn out like that.P.S. everyone makes mistakes.

WTF man.........u think ure so good and everythin........... i wanna c ure ITR and compare to a piece of shit!!!......... everyone makes mistakes!!

P.S. WTF do u think ure funny??............... I have type-R stickers on my bike.....will it go faster.............. STFU mustang!!~

Whoa! Settle down everyone!:silly:

Let's try to keep the profanity down, and just try to understand that it was a mistake. Things like saying it was painted by rocks or looking funny is all in discouragement to the modeller. I understand that sometimes we do make fun, but then we show that it was a joke and not a put-down.

Obviously, he isn't as experienced as the others that have serveral models displayed in glass cases. There are a lot of newbies in this forum, I am one for fact, and saying stuff like that is something to put them down. You have to understand that he shared his painful experiences and bad model situations with us, and to throw it back in his face is wrong. :rolleyes: He just wanted to show us what went wrong, and asking for advice on how to fix it.

To those of you, if you think it looks funny, please try to keep it to yourselves at least. I am guessing some of the modellers here are young teens, if you discourage them, they lose sight on modelling cars.

I know that you guys wouldn't like it if I suddenly started to diss your hard work saying it sucks, because I don't. The older more experienced modellers that show sincerity to others' hard work are the kinds of people we need more of!:p

your altezza is not so screwed up compared to my civic that I have strip and paint like 12 times and now it is very shiny. it's not a bad thing you just have to repaint it(use primer) and it gona be a beautifull model.

:D :D :D

...thx to everyone that supported me~ u guys r true modellers~ other ppl who thinks is really all that funny should stfu~

let's c if u gusy will still b laughing when I redo it~
i'm gonna prove to u guys that my Altezza will b fixed and be a good lookin model~

thx again to ppl that supported me~ I will do my best to fix up the model so u guys can c it .thx

now ive seen evyrthing did you put the can up close to the car J/K dont worry about it ive done way worse than that i airbrused a viper candy apple pearl the paint job looked cool so i left the car alone. i came back up to look on it and all the red ran off the boddy into seams and gutters i got so pist i treww it towards the front of the attic where i think the body is still there.



my lesson was let the primer ,base,and color coats dry at seperate times
my suggestion after you fix it is to mist the coats silver on to your car and let it dry overnight.



Dont talk s#$% about other peoples cars i know everybody in here has done it once or twice i just doest come to you like that it takes practice even pros F!@# up too.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah man, I'm not making fun of your car dude, I've had worse trust me. Practice makes perfect, the important thing is you learn what you did wrong and correct it in the future, in this case, I'll tell you what I think happened:

1.) No primer, slippery plastic
2.) You said it rained immediately after you sprayed it, which means the air must have been very humid. On every can of spray paint it will say DO NOT SPRAY IN HIGH HUMIDITY. Trust those words!!

Lets carm it down abit guys...the modelling forum is the last place i want to come to and start using my moderater powers to start closing threads due to flaming:devil: :devil: :devil: :devil: :devil: ..j/k....i get enough of this in the other forums !!!..lol

I could not beleive it when i saw the pics either :eek: :eek: ....i have to say it looks pretty bad....thank god for CSC to help you out.

But hey...never mind...we all make mistakes and hopefully you will learn from this.
The first few models i done were shocking to...and i still do make cock-ups...but by listening to what other people say and taking in all the info you can, will make you into a better builder.
Its so good to see that you are determined to carry on and build this model the best you can. I wish you luck and look forward to seeing the finished job plus updates.
Good luck

We were just having a little joke, along with something called critisism, you know where we congradulate people for there good work and have a little joke about the bad work. Im sure that it is going to come out good and like always I look forward to seeing the finished product.
Turbo86: Dont be up so tight like that, when I stuff up I take the critisisms and jokes and take the whole thing as a joke as im sure MX100 is and if he finds it the least bit offensive he will tell us and we will stop, and there is no need to retaliate in a offencive way, if MX100wants to do that, he can (but the moderators wont like it) but he can speak for himself.
I apologise if I offended anybody by what I said but here in Australia there is something called freedom of speech.
Just my $0.02.

umm.....how do i know if u r jokin or not~ u never said nethign like J/K or J/P?? I dun care if u r jokin or not all i know is i dun find that very funny~ and so Australia has freedom of speech?
well guess wat Canada does too adn Turbo86 is in Canada so he has teh freedom of speech to say watever he wants~ and plus he is my friend and i am sure u will help a friend if someone makes fun of him~ so dun b talkin to Turbo86 liek that

I would of said somethign right after u post the reply but i didn't had mood to b taklin back and plus I wanted to keep this forum as friendly as possible~

but wat u just said really ticked me off and i think i should just stfu~
I am here in this forum to learn more abotu modelling and hope to improve my skills and get advice not to b here to b laughed @. Also i am hoping to make new friends here not to make enemy. and i am sure most of the other ppl are too.
enuff said.

it is true that canada has lots of freedom and speech............ better that Australia where u would get fined for not VOTING:o

i am also a friend of turbos86 and Mx100 and we all live in Canada......... i u all who was laughing at Mx100's altezza to post up their OWN car to c HOW GOOD u ppl's car r

_____________________________________________
but until then u can suck my dick:finger:

oh boy....emm, everybody calm down. I've seen too many flame wars being started in other forums like this.

Ok, I admit that I was over reacting when in my first reply. To those that got offended, I'm sorry.

Personally, I think we should all just let this thread die. We do all want this modelling forum to be fun and enjoyable for everyone, right? I'll promise to keep my temper done and hope everyone else will too.

ok.....first of all....i meant no disrespect to you mx100......i didn't think you'd get pissed off because i stated that my ITR was a LOOOT worse than yours.....i know how you feel.....and you said it was a screwed up altezza so i thought you were just trying to amuse us by showing how it looks before you bathe it in CSC.......so if you took my comments that way, then i apoligize......you may notice that i spoke in a humorous tone....not flaming.....

umm.....if you read it closely, i said my ITR was way WORSE than his car and i just wanted to maybe cheer him up or something......i never said "your cars sucks shit, stop modelling" or anything like that.....i DO realize everyone makes mistakes.......but when you show everyone your mistakes, you are welcoming some sort of criticism.......i knwo you're not asking to be flamed on, mx100.....you're just showing us how your altezza looks so we can compare it to how good it will look later on.....i know mx100 will make it look better.......

and for your second remark......if you looked around AF for a little bit....you would realize that i'm an import fan......i just don't like people out there w/ pseudo stickers all over their cars.......IT"S CALLED A JOKE!!!!!!.......everyone else caught it, i don't know why you're taking it to the head......look around the honda/acura forum.......you'll see that most people just laughed and complimented it for MAKING A JOKE!......chill out.......and i don't drive a mustang, but i wouldn't mind driving one either.....i drive a civic for your information.....

I better not reply to some of those posts...

Turbo86: No need to apologise, It was late and I was tired and I over-reacted.
But lets face it, all families have arguements...all friends do as well, its just natural, so lets forget about this thread and get back to helping each other.
So next time people are having a little joke, put J/K or a :D next to it, to stop arguements happening.

This has gone on longer enough....thread closed
