Revell Enzo Custom

[Erik O.]

This will be a complete fresh start of a topic,
I will post some more topics on cars I work on, but that will follow whenever I am serious working on that car again.

This is going to be a Enzo, customized. I already made an Revell Enzo, but something went wrong with the varnish, so the outside got complete ruined.
I bought this kit for 6 dollars and was all new and with a brush and 3 bottles of paint

As colour scheme I was going for a flat-black Enzo with gloss black wheels





And these wheels are going underneath the Enzo

uh well i like everyting but the idea of a flat black enzo but gloss black would look so much better( in my opinion ), but hey its your model and your off to a good start

Gloss black was my first intuiton for the kit, my previous Enzo was gloss Red, but then again....It is so obvious.... I wanted to give it a bit more radical look. And if I don't like it, I will respray the car

I hope the car get's with flat black a stealth look.

raw/unpainted dry CF FTW. seriously. for me anyway.

Interesting build idea, id like to see the finished product.
I have a suggestion, maybe do a color combo of the fl black with a nice carbon or even an artistic split on the side as if part of it was unpainted to see the carbon? hmm just an idea. Keep us posted!

could work, but first I am going to try flat. maybe with a small red striping, but i am doubting on that

This should be good.

Today I sprayed the Enzo in flat black, it did looked awesome! But the thing with flat colours is that they are really scratch sensitive, so i decided to spray some layers of clear satin varnish over the car.
It seems to be okay, but it ended up in horror. the black colour was crumbling and the varnish wasn't really smooth.

So I put the car rightaway in Ovencleaner and redo it tommorow, this time I will wait for a week between the last black layer and the first layer of varnish

crumbling as in cracking did you use the right primer?

I did not used primer at all, it is a reaction between the black colour and the varnish

[nugundam93]

awwww snap!

but that's okay, you'll be able to recover it soon

I worked on the car yesterday for several hours and without sanding, the car is now completely back to its molding colour

it needs some days for drying, and then we will try again with painting

[Erik O.]

Today I resprayed the car again in a flat colour, and it was satisfying, but still got a problem with a varnish, the one I had proved to crumble my flat paint, and a flat colour needs a clear coat, to prevent scratching and touching by fingers as you can see on the hood of my Enzo.

Who has another idea to put up a clear coat? (flat ofcourse)

i like it. the wheels will look better if they are painted the same color.
