Hi,

colour finish looks like on your Mustang. Do you cover it with clear or will you polish it out?

[cham2020]

i just sprayed a few coats LAst night. i just sprayed a few more coats just now and it lopoks much glossier...yeah i will polish instead of clear coat...


here is wat it looks like

[sportracer02]

Yellow is a hard colour do bring to a body. Around the doors it looks quite dark, the yellow didn´t cover the base quite well. What colour was the base coat or - if covering the plastic directly- what was the colour of the body?

[cham2020]

the original color body is dark silver and i give it a light color grey primer

Yeh, Tamiya's yellow tends to draw away from the panel lines... You should try painting them using very light mist coats, so the paint doesn't have the chance to run.

Keep it up!

i am not using tamiya spray cans. i am using normal acrylic can spray.

[KTem]

I guess the same goes for the paint you use!

[cham2020]

maybe that's why you guys say yellow is a hard color ?

[Apexi_N1]

Your EK is looking good!! Any plans? or box stock?

Indeed. yellow doesn't not cover ANYTHING!

I make the mistake on my yellow EK as I sanded some of the white primer off before I spray the yellow. Those part where the primer was off, the silver shown clear after 2 layers of yellow. In the end, I have to stripe off all the paint and start from ground 0
