Excellent work jimbob.
I usually don’t like dark sport commercial vehicles but you have done a hell of a job.
The paint job is very shinny and the interior looks superb.

Keep sending more like this one.

I've seen a real one in yellow, but they just look sexier in colors like this.

Looks great!

What did you use for your clearcoat? It looks really thick, but still looks good!

No there is no clearcoat over the taillamps. They were simply picked out from the inside with clear red and orange - also the edge lines within the inside of the light were picked out with black and then the whole edges picked out in black - Then a final backing with silver to highlight the colours. - Hope this helps

Jim

Jay

I always use automotive paints - As part of my job i see accident damage cars and sort the repairs out with bodyshops - This allows me to be able to mix any colour etc. If anybody in the UK wants a special paint mixed let me Know - Anyway I use automotive clear laquer. It is a two pack based - it has to be mixed with a hardener and an accelerator to make it dry quickly. As with all clearcotes if it goes on well it shouldnt need to much attention. I then use autoglym polish and then autoglym extra gloss - This helps to add depth to the paint which I think is important to make models look real. The secret is to do it without applying too much paint.

If u guys like the finish on this - wait for my 360 Modena - The paint is a real treat - I will post when done - but I do take my time - I think thats important.

Hope this helps
Jim

Awesome job...

I sent that second pic to a buddy of mine, and he mistook it for a picture of a real car. Very nice.
