Revell Honda Civic SI Coupe Project

[Macdaddy4738]

Hey guys!! im bored...its the start of summer...and its time for a model project!!!

im starting (first painted model...) on the Revell Civic.





the seat in that pic is a racing seat from a Jeff Gordan car...it fits pretty well to start with. Im planning a pretty wild paint scheme for it...but im not 100% sure on colors. I also am stuck with Testors paint...its all i got and i cant spend much money on this project. I basically have no sand paper...im searching around but cant find any...so im stuck there too...

Looking good, i filll your pain for money, I suggest these brands, (can be found at wal-mart..)

Krylon
Duplicolor

These paint brands are better that that thick testors junk

[Macdaddy4738]

how much for em? im almost ready to set the paint down...but i need sand paper and paint. Im intrested in the Duplicolor..

wait..i just remembered we have TONS of Krylon downstairs..lemme go see if we have what i need.\

haha!!!







will those work?? And will they react to Testors paint?? Im still using the Testors primer...couldnt find any Krylon down there. thats what im worried about. Im still going to use testors..just not for the whole thing. AND the clear coat is arcrylic...will it react to the Enamel paint on the car??

Make sure its enamal on enamal or the paints will react

or acr on acr

dont mix types, i see you have both kinds

[Macdaddy4738]

im using the white and blue. i guess that means the clearcoat is out for now. Its going to be a blue overall color with white spikes coming from the fenders and sideskirts.
