Good colour choice, simple but effective.
Have you thought about copying the paint schemes off any of the Hotwheels cars ? They have some real cool stuff ! Might be worth spending a little bit of cash on some or find them on the net, great inspiration ! |

coming on leaps n bounds mate, well done
:thumbsup: |
Cheers Jon appreciate it ,
I used the candy around the windows but I put my plasticote On to soon and it's gone a bit cracked but still pops :) |
yeh, enamel paint like the plastikote can be a bit funny.
i make sure when using candies on a shell that they are backed really well with waterbased paints when i plan to use plastikote (which is all the time as all my shells get sealed with it) like you say, applying plastikote too soon on a shell isnt a good look either |
shells
most of these shell were done for me and really happy with them :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Cheers chap ,
I finally got chance to paint my shell :) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...r/c84e1d7e.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...r/c3e95091.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...r/a34a3894.jpg |
As I've said else where, really liking your shell, maybe I would have used a darker colour than the metallic red between the orange and white but it probably looks different in real life as I know pearl colours rarely come out correctly in photos. Great design though :)
|
Thanx Ian , I could do with some tips on colours
, the red I used is johns candy red , I used 3 lite coats Then 1 lite coat of Crome backed with black , which made the candy look Great, then after I finished the rest of the shell off and Put on my nitro block the red faded and u could see it On the inside ????? Any tips would be great I no I'm doing somthing wrong somewhere Cheers si |

Personally I'd have made that line black or a metallic black, something really dark against the orange, that's a very personal thing though and it isn't my shell so you can ignore that bit. Another thing, when you finished the shell did you back ALL of it with something waterbased to seal it all up before you use the nitro block ? Maybe the end you had built up on the candy red / chrome / black was still above some of the other paint and the aerosol found it and you had a slight reaction ??? Generally I will finish and seal everything in with a silver or white but I then also cover it with a black as it makes sure the body isn't see through ( and because I'm so pedantic I think it looks better in photo's... ) then I back that with an Aerosol clear. |
Yeah Ian's nailed it above for you mate :)
Another thing I've found is with using the candies over chrome gives a nice anodised effect, just worth noting that whatever you use to back it over with will have a dramatic effect with candies & chrome being transparent. As for Backing with nitroblock & enamels, leave the wb paints to cure off overnight & mist the nitroblock or enamel on in light coats & build it up :) |
Cheers chaps ,
Just a qwick run down on what I did Candy Chrome 15-20 min drying after a blow dry from the wife's New hair dryer Then wb black Orange backed with silver pearl and white blue/white all over Black all over final blow dry ( after each colour ) 2hr air dry Getting excited cos I want fit it lol Then 2 lite coats of nitro block leaving 20 mins in between Coats Sorry about the list I'm still learning :) I'm guessing I'm not leaving it long enough Before the nitro block as mike said ?? I think I've built the wb up like u said Ian !! |
Just reading through the process mate, no problems at all there :)
When it comes to the candies & chrome they evaporate quicker than the WB but with the chrome I usually put a couple of light coats on & find that's enough... With doing the enamel & the nitroblock, patience is the key. Best to leave the WB gear to cure off, laying down a number of coats there will still be moisture inbetween them, even though the coats may look dry to the naked eye. |
Exactly what Mike has said, especially with the weather as it is at the moment and it being so wet, that won't help the paints to dry any quicker.
Heat it to death with the heat gun and put on very very light coats with lots of heat in between, also when you begin to paint heat the shell / previous paint so it's warm, this ensures the next coat will on better and also dry quicker. When you paint up against a mask it often creates a lip of paint, so with that lip sometime it sort of sticks up, if it isn't covered fully and you then put another different type of paint over the top you'll get a reaction. So far I can see you've used Jon's paint, then waterbased and then back it with an Aerosol, by nature aerosols contain a high solvent content in their paint, this is how they come out of the nozzle and also this is how they air dry so well, but for us it's a major problem, if it penetrates any of that water based it's going to attack the other solvent based paint, this is where the reaction can happen. OR if you've put it on even slightly too wet and too quick the solvent and the water based will react against each other casing the paint to "pickle". Those are the only things I can think of. Without standing over you and watching you do every single step I can't say what has cased it, it could be any number of things, and as I started with drying times in wet or colder conditions vary hugely and will play a key part in all of this weather you are using solvent or waterbased paints. I'd say give your wife her hair dryer back and go and invest in a decent heat gun. I've got a power devil 2000 and it gets bloody hot, so look for something similar to that, hair dryers don't quite do the same job. |
Sealing a shell 2hrs after painting it is nowhere near enough time in my opinion. After I have painted a shell it sits on a low heater for several hours or even overnight in winter time. It will then sit another day on the side before getting sealed. In hot summer, the heater isn't quite as necessary but the shells still sit for a couple days minimum. Especially when solvent paints are involved as they do dry quickly but then continue to air off solvents for sometime after this.
Nitroblock and enamel clears are quite hardcore and so a good coverage of waterbased paint is recommend before applying those types of things. Have a practice on a scrap of lexan before applying it to a project. You will get the hang of things soon buddy. |
Thanx for ure advise guys , I'm giving my impatient ass a good kicking
Lol , I'm going to start and seal at least 24hr later :) |
Another 1 all lm , I'm happy how it came out , feedback welcome

looks good buddy :thumbsup:
all i would say, is a matching black pinstripe on the front green section would have been good. |
Quality job that - very tidy and well executed ;)
|
Cheers guys :)
I agree John I kicked myself after :( |
Working progress , had to stop due to a bloody headache doing this1
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...r/a4d5e58a.jpg |
Stop drinking that stuff then :D
Looking good so far dude |
:thumbsup: im thinking candy red and some kind of lines under it? could use some ideas ???????? :confused::thumbsup:
|
Looking very good so far dude but you're gonna get a lot more headaches if you try to replicate the rest of the car, it would be easier doing it the right way around, more of a nightmare like this.
|
im with you their Ian , im going to try some ideas on lexan 1st
bit off a bit to much i think lol:thumbsup: |
Best way mate, chuck yourself in at the deep end and see how you do, it will only make you better, no point in only doing stuff you know or you'll never improve. I still get jobs to day where I look at them and think how the hell am I going to achieve that and then after a bit of logical thinking it comes together and if in doubt, as you say, you can do some tests on scrap lexan. Good luck fella :thumbsup:

I've been busy and not painting for a while but here's a bit more on the rock crawler
