ill snap some pics tomorrow but i still need to know if the enamel will work with laquer primer. i tested it out, but ive never seen sprayed part up close and i dunno what its supposed to look like.

[Turbo Monster]

dunno, but this must be done



sorry, but I'd really like to see some pics man!! hopefully I'll be able to make a tasteful eclipse, not like the ones around here...... *sigh*

Good Luck with it!

ok i just got some pics. the first one is the chassis with primer on it(i did a bad job cuz it was my first time spraying. it went on a little thick) and the 2nd and 3rd are the interior pieces mask off.







woops, i forgot to put the second door panel in the last picture. its in the first one.

Masking looks fine. Good luck on the spraying.

here is the primer and paint i plan on using



one questions... when you spray primer should it look wet?

[Vric]

not sure if the paint will look good. this kind of paint is very tick and eat the plastic easily. Never used Plastikote, but the Duplicolor "engine" paint is terrible for plastic

[g00eY]

dang... i couldnt find any orange or green besides the engine paint. cuz if this paint wont work its going back. my guess is this paint wont work either because the cans look nearly identical. i'd rather not take my chances. so any suggestions on what paint i should get for my orange and green?

[Vric]

Tamiya, model master, duplicolor, plastikote. orange and green aren't the hardest color to find.

also, the primer is a bit too dark for orange paint. You will need to put few white coat of paint before if you want a nice color

im using plastikote paint for SUVs, and Trucks, on some models right now, it works very well, but you MUST have the clear coat or it looks like shit.

im going to use the plasti-kote silver for my CLK DTM. either im pressing the button too hard or im too close cuz i sprayed the rims and there was paint everywhere. i painted in a cardboard box and it was like a puddle.

anyways... i couldnt find any orange or green except for engine enamel. i checked at Wal-mart and Pepboys and they didnt have the lacquer so i just got some engine enamel. i hope Pepboys will let me return it.

idk about your paint making a puddle, tho it does have awide spray on it, you have to have it about 6 inchs from the model if u want to get any paint on it ata ll

[Vric]

go to a hobbyshop ! I can't beleive there is none in your area. Or go to a Car paint shop (they can even mix you special paint if you want $$)

I use Plasti-Kote paints regularly and they work fine if you remember that they come out with a lot more pressure than regular hobby paints. I'm no pro . Thanks though
