Paint practice: Honda Fit.
 to become similar to this  Very few modifications, it's all paint. I'm going to to my best to make this as shiny and perfect paint as possible. The paint is Cobra Colors Copperhead Orange Pearl (that's why I've been asking all about those paints). I'm going to decant some Tamiya black and clear for the next two layers. I was warned against putting CC clear over Tamiya spray, and was going to do it anyway. My plan changed after terrible crazing of the CC paint over Tamiya primer. So let that be a lesson to me and you guys. And kudos to Cobra Colors. Great paint, they will have my business for a long time. Anyone with an airbrush needs to try them out, I'd say. No they don't pay me.

Looking good so far. Thanks for your kind remarks about the paint!
Is the crazing problem happening with Tamiya's Fine Surface Primer? I haven't tried it yet but I know someone in California who swears by it for use under automotive paint. I wonder what happened there.

Re: Paint practice: Honda Fit.
I have two theories - either I sprayed too soon after priming, and it was still wet, or I sprayed too thick a coat of paint. Either way, I used Rustoleum primer and did it on the same timetable and with the same amount of paint, so I'm not sure what the deal was. The crazing was pretty heavy duty, though, and it even affected the underlying plastic.

Re: Paint practice: Honda Fit.
Hey is the Fit going to be the same as the one in the pic with rims and all or just the two tone paint?
 HAHA, you took the pic of your monitor off! [quote=willimo] QUOTE]
