2009 Concept Camaro!!!

[modelfan]

This one was completed about 3 months ago, paint is HOK Tangerine Orange, the one sold at Wal-Mart as the 3 step system.........

Stripped the chrome and painted the rims with Testors line of Metalizer paints after correcting the indentations they came with.....

Smoked the windows with Tamiya Smoke from their line of paints. Just a reminder, you have to be careful at the conclusion of the build to make sure you correct the front wheels, they protude a lot, other than that it was a fun kit to build.........

Silver base before the color coats................

that looks great! did you use a primer under your base coat? I cannot believe you achieved such a great finish with that paint. I am guessing it was done with spray cans? How'd you like that EVERYTHING in your painting area is now metallic flaked after spraying that silver base!?! haha

seriously though, I love the build.

I like it, love the color, it is similar to copper orange, but for me, it just don't suit the tan interior (or at least the dashboard)...

Very nice painting job!

Yes, it has a primer basecoat of course, I like to use Odds and Ends Clear but it is getting hard to get them.....And yes, lots of flakes everywhere even using my spraybooth

I was just wondering, because I'm in the midst of dealing with valspar, and what not, just trying NOT to flub up another good kit. I tried a couple different primers, but they just don't seem to be able to be compatible with the Kustom Kolor base coats. I don't know why, the stuff I'm using is what was suggested. maybe I'm just stupid, and need to give up the idea of using valspar paints.

Well my friend, I like using Floquil primers as my base and never had any issues with it, I hear that some of the new plastics they are using for these kits nowadays is sometimes weak when using certain paints but I have not had any issues with my primers. Just try misting your primers very lightly between coats and sanding between them also, you have to give them a pretty good time to dry before shooting your color coats. I sprayed mine right out of the can and didn't have any issues at all and this is the second car I have used those paints on with the last one used in the Tangelo colored Anglia that I posted here.

fantastic work, on the camaro, and the anglia. I'll have to try out the floquil paints, we have an art supply shop here locally that sells the stuff. I just picked up some real automotive primer at a auto paint shop. the guy at the counter was sitting there building a new mustang kit (go figure) and he said the stuff he suggested has worked flawlessly for about 20 years for him. I guess I can't argue with that. and at $15/can (48oz) I figured it's good enough a deal, and if it doesn't work out, I can use it on my real car.
