Thank you, yes the Tempest does look formidable, I cheated and used HGW Wet Transfers, worked a treat, only lost two and no silvering.

BlrwestSiR Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Strings Rob's excellent Ford GT, I've pulled a couple cat kits out of the stash/SoD and thrown some paint at them. First up is a Subaru Impreza WRC. I had to fix a lot small blemishes in the original paint and redo it. It's come out much better this time. That encouraged me to try painting a Tamiya RX-7. The base coat is Tamiya Titanium Gold. I've now started putting on layers of Tamiya Clear Red. I did this years ago with a 300ZX kit and it turned out great. Then the paint fully cured and spider webbed. Tamiya eventually changed the formula of their clear paints as it started to happen to other modelers. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great body painting, if only the Ford GT designers would've known that their blue is the same Subaru uses . Cheers Rob 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocRob Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 No real Ford Gt's to raid on my island, the Lacquer paint drought still is an issue, at least concerning Mica Blue . Cheers Rob 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea of putting tinted clears over a metallic base. Is it difficult to get a consistent tone over the full body, spraying the clear read. I can imagine that even the least bit of different thickness in the clear coat will lead to tonal differences. Cheers Rob 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Rob Rob you can get streaking and variations in the colour if you're not careful. This time around I thinned the paint quite a bit and did light coats. This gives you a bit more margin for error. Also use as wide a spray pattern as you can. The one challenge is that if you make a mistake, you have to start all over again. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like I got a bit too heavy on the hood and the paint has pooled a bit. This means I'll have to strip it back and start over. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
