Messed paint bad!!!

[EMAXX]

I got home from school excited to finally get to paint my Silverado, and I painted it and the boyd paint was really runny. Anyways, its getting stripped and will get re-painted black. No more boyds paints for me.

Spray paint can be spray 'pain' sometimes.
Don't get in a hurry!
Shake the paint really well and make sure the can is warm (not hot!).
I always spray a little on something else, before I spray the model, to test the paint.
And don't forget to 'clear' the nozzle when you are done by turning the can upside down and spraying till it doesn't spray paint anymore (a couple of seconds).

I don't really care. I put the model in gas, another dumb move, and melted the plastic. I feel really sad right now. I don't feel like building for a while.

Do any of you know anything that I could do and get another body? I also need the bumpers too.

dont feel too bad. my friend once gave me a 99 z28 camaro and i had this paint remover that said "circa 1851.." so this stuff is old (but looked new -- damn those computers these days) and it was thick like motor oil.. but grey.. so i said "this stuff is hardcore" and he said.. nah man, just use it.
so i did.. and within 10 minutes the model was nice and floppy like a slice of pizza with just the right amount of paint thinner running through its sides.

anyways. i called revel and told them i used some cheap testor spray paint and then to remove some i used their thinner and it burned a hole thru my model (tee hee).. and they sent me the whole tree where the car and bumper come on and all the parts on that tree. it took 4 weeks but it got here.


try calling the company if its american based.

How much was it to get the parts? I don't have any money right now. I just put it all in the bank towards my real car. It was nice having all that money, now being broke sucks.

Eugene, on REVELLS website for the price of a printed page and 3bux you can order 10 parts from any kit.

Ok, thanks for the help. I'm going to have to check it out.

I have a whole bunch of Extra silverado parts (experiments) I have 2 or 3 bodies, one is painted silver, the other one is grey, the only down side is, they have putty on the body (painted brown to look like mud) I also have a front bumper, one is still chrome but no head lights, other one is brown/mud with lights

What would you want for them? Do you think that you could maybe post some pics? I don't need headlights or anything like that. I just need the front bumper, the rear bumper, and the bed and the cab. I have everything else.
