Color is airbrushed...

Pics:









Normally i clear with 2k from zero. (the pre-thinned stuff)
But i dont have it anymore and only have the glass bottles that you have to mix for yourself laying on the shelf.
What mix ratios do you guys use? I've read somewhere that the instructions for mixing are not 100%.

Re: Rover Mini Cooper 1.3i Bigscale
Wow what great results with the clear and for your first time too. Is that straight over a semi-gloss black base? I like the colour combo too.

Re: Rover Mini Cooper 1.3i Bigscale
Thanks guys!
Decals are on, also sanded out some dust.
Here and there are some dull spots due to sanding but they will disapear during final clear coat.

Wow! What a shine! Looks great

Really like your weathering on the chassis. What technique did you use? Dry-brush?

Keep it up!
