C6 Vette- In progress
Here's the start of my next project. C6 vette in nassau blue metallic (factory GM color)

Here is a shot in primer, with a sample swatch of the color I will use.

Love the color!
So when you paint a metalic color on a white primer how do you prevent the white from showing through o nsharp edges/lines?

I think it is done. I built a catch can for it and affixed the wipers. Nothing left to do

I'll try to post a few final pics shortly

I think it depends on how thin or thick the paint your shooting is. If the paint is right I just try to be as consistant as possible with coverage.

Re: C6 Vette- In progress
I took each shot with and without a flash to give you a better idea of how the lights play off the paint.














I am really impressed with this paint.

Re: C6 Vette- In progress
Great looking vette so far! How does that spray compare to Tamiya sprays? I've been a little hesitant on using it because of Testors other spray cans that never seem to dry.

Thanks guys

I was really surprised how nice this paint was. My dad used to build and I think I sparked his interest in modeling again by emailing him links to peoples models on AF that I thought he would like. He wanted to go to a hobby shop and while we were there, he picked the nassau blue color for my C6.

I was leary of using something besides tamiya rattle cans, but this paint was smooth, and beautiful in the end. It definately drys a bit quicker then average.
