Model Car Building - How To Paint - Lets Talk Paint 

Nice information. Thanks for sharing.

WOW! Your wife actually washes your clothes!! Man, she’s a keeper.

Thanks for showing some diff paint jobs, at 63 I’m just getting into air brushing, I was always a rattle can guy, in fact I just used mcw lacquer yesterday in an air brush first time ever using an air brush, I’ve just been back at model building after 45 years, I have a lot to learn air brushing

also to remember to let lacquer gas out well before clearing with 2 stage clear-I use small plastic shot cups for models to measure paint

Awsome thanks for your help.

Lots of great info Paul. Painted a 69 Grandprix Imron gold/brown when Imron first came out in the 80's I think. The painter at the Mack truck show wanted to try out the paint and I said use my car... Lol 15 years later it still shined like new when I sold it. 😁 LLAP 🖖

Great looking cars, definitely a California vibe to them. Subbed

I appreciate your videos that are helpful like this.

Cool video mate 👍

Maaaaann, those are some slick paint jobs. Right now, here in the south, I'm fighting humidity. I run into a lot of hazing when using Duplicolor laquers.

Very interesting video paul,always learning something new from your videos , lovely paint on those models .

I've never experimented with base coats but have with primers, nice paint tips.

i know what chu mean strait laqueur over different primr= but have gotten some of the best paint jobs yours are to die for cudos and tanks fur the the tips in the archives😁🤩😅🤗

Nice fifty seven chevy behind ya

I'm going to do my usual practice on some plastic spoons before I spray the candy on my Desoto. Man, those models are beautiful!

Great video! Your very knowledgeable and clearly it shows through in your paintwork. Only question here is do you always prime?

🤘🏽

Interesting with the CheZoom...(Must be a HOK thing?) I've never seen a glossy candy, unless it was a tinted clear one where you add concentrate to your regular 2K clear. Ford RR with PPG was that way but RR with Axalta was traditional tinted mid-coat (transparent base coat) like every other candy I've sprayed. Same as a tri-coat pearl which is a pearl mid-coat and they need a clear over them. I would say in scale most all base coats don't need to be activated as you're not needing the extra durability and adhesion as you do on a 1:1 car that has to deal with elements, rock chips, UV. 2K is catalyzed and 1K is air dry.

I dont have the ambition or budget to take painting to the of level science and art that you do, Paul; but I do find this very interesting. The more I learn; the easier it wil be for me to get comfortable enough with it, to try to taking paint beond the rattle can. Those are great finishes on those; I especially like the candy orange one. Is that a Pontiac Le Mans, or GTO? That Buick reminds me of a 51 Chevey deluxe an older lady that used to live behind us used to have. Great models and video, sir! Hope you guys are all having a great weekend! ☺🤙⛽🚘🏁🏆🍾

Good tips. I have some mcw paint and some ammo cobra paint. Have been wondering about the proscale paint and the outlaw paint. I like the mcw, but have to keep remembering the hardener. And the same with createx.

Please let me ask a question, since I’m getting back into model car building since I’m recently retired, and between my honeydew list, I wanted to ask someone that’s obviously been building models for some time. I live in the south and it’s been raining here for the last week and humidity is at least 70% right now. I don’t have a garage, basement, or dedicated room for modeling like you rich guys do, just kidding, I have to do my painting out in my shed. BTW, I use rattle cans enamel for painting. My question is, do you think if I paint outside then immediately bring the body inside that my paint jobs will turn out alright? I’ve only completed one model and the paint job was orange peeled so badly that I had to strip it down and start over. I’m not completely convinced if it was the humidity or that it was molded in red and I didn’t spray enough primer on it, but I really don’t want to have to go through stripping again. Thank you in advance for any and all help. Greatly appreciated.
