R34 Candy Paint experiment.

It's box stock besides the paint, just thought i'dd get your opinion.

I painted it coper first. Just a 5 euro general use spraycan.
After that I gave it a coat of Duplicolor red clearcoat and a coat of Tamiya clearcoat.

It turned out pretty well and getting the candy effect even allover the car turned out easier than I can expected.
It's nice red which turns a bit tangerine under much light.









Complete gallery for this model.
sorry about the thumbs... my gallery is having some bandwidth problems and these are the result of that. Hopefully it's just temporary.

comments welcome!!

Im so glad to see a model that is real candy. So many people say "Check out my candy paint" when in fact it isnt candy. All that was done was they went out, bought a can of Candy Red. That isnt candy, candy is a technique and you did it.

Great job. A person that does real candy paint!!! Excellent!

That's to bad, yeah...
They kept falling out and that is what happened after glueing it in for the 4th time.
And it's not the first headlight I've mest up.

I got I bottle of Humbrol Clearfix yesterday, so that won't happen again.

I think they have green and blue to.
I think I'll try blue on silver on a MR2 (mkII) or a Supra (mkIV)
