Hello. What if I will use only one type of compound? for example only "Fine"
@DrixWorks
@DrixWorks 2 года назад
You can still achieve glossy finish. But it is better if you use also finish compound after using fine

How many coats of the colour paint did you apply? How long did you wait between each coat? How long did you wait between using each polishing compound?

Do you secure surface somehow after polishing? How about to use at the very end tamiya wax ? What kind of clear coat do you use?

Hi mate! great tutorial and beautiful results. I'm in the process of learning this technique my self. but in my case, it always leave scratches in my models. I do the same process and was wondering what clear coat are you using?. My last build i tried mr.color ultra clear gloss uv cut. let it cure for about a week and when i went on to sanding, it jsut leaves scratches and the compunds where not able to remove the scratches either. Thanks in advance, cheers!

No, there will be a lot of swirl marks. You still need to use polishing compound to achieve mirror finish
@bygzam
@bygzam 3 года назад
Awesome, thanks for this, I had been looking for a good mirror finish tutorial and this is great. Quick question, do you wash off the remaining compound after you're done polishing one step, before moving onto the next level of compound? like coarse > wash off remainder > fine > wash off remainder > finish > wash off remainder? or is it all in succession?
@DrixWorks
@DrixWorks 3 года назад
Thanks buddy! I dont wash the remainder. I just proceed to the next step. No wash at all

@BST14L_R3B3L 2 года назад
Would be alright if I only use one polishing compound? Will it give the model kit a mirror-ish shine?
@DrixWorks
@DrixWorks 2 года назад
No. It is recommended to use atleast 2. Fine and Finish. It is not necessary to use coarse. But the most important is fine and finish

What I am most curious about is how are these stickers not affected when doing this operation? 1. painting the product 2. wet sanding 3. polishing 4. sticking the stickers. Do you mind if the order of operations is like this? I thought the stickers would be damaged during this process. They look fine 🙂
@plrplm
@plrplm 2 года назад
here's how the stickers are safe: sanding > primer > sanding > white primer (optional) > sanding > painting > sanding (optional) > clear coating > sanding > decals (stickers) > clear coating > polishing.

@@plrplm Thank you very much, If we have to choose between white or gray primer, which one is more useful? As a newbie in this business, I'm learning things I didn't know. I have another question, there are thin strips on the car. In this video, you said that you need to make the clear coating at least 4 layers. Well, after these 4 layers of process, don't these streaks close completely?

If you are going to paint light colors you should use white primer. And grey for dark colors

I guess the key is to have a decent amount of clear so you don’t get into the decals or paint. Not as difficult as I thought it would be. Just time consuming.

If the paint bleeds, that's the time I do a paint correction sir. Sometimes, I paint clear coat first then wetsand a bit before applying the decals. Then apply again clear coat after applying the decals. Then I do the process of polishing

Very helpful video, could you explain what the polishing compound is and what it does along with if its necessary to sand it and can I use a polishing sponge on it. Also how does sanding and polishing not damage the decals and do i do all of this polishing on top of a clear coat of X-22.

Decals arent harmed because they're protected by the top clear coat.

No doubt, a perfect surface, and a magnificent job. But in my opinion is it a work of an armchair enthusiast, who has never seen a rally car in real life. No rallycar at all, has a glossy surface like this. I have decorated many rally and racing cars in 1:1. and it is far from what you see in real life. Impressive job, but I am sorry to comment negative. This kind of surface belongs to a Hot Rod or a Street Rod with a "mile-deep" varnish.
