Happy to do yours if you still need it doing  You'd need to buy some rattle cans (not pots as i spray from the rattle cans into the airbrush - proper professional setup...) of the colours you want though as I don't have your colours in my limited collection !

See it makes all the difference - you didn't need me to tell you that though ! No distracting background, you can concentrate on the paintwork ! Looks much better Andy.

That fin on the roof looks smart with the union jack through it. Another cracking job there fella.
 To answer your other question about my shell i dropped it off with Mike a couple of weeks ago, so expecting it back quite soon, dint know how busy you were with building all those new cars you keep buying.

Well - after a very long break from painting anything, I finally got around to painting a shell for a racing Pal - Andy Rochelle. He gave me a touring car shell to 'experiment with' last year as i'd bought my Craft Robo cutter.
Couple of things, it didn't go too well, my old - different brand paints reacted with each other, the chrome went on, and fell off on it's own - and the blends went weird. Cutter worked well though ! Also, Mr Rochelle cut the shell out and put various holes in it himself - blindfolded and in the dark Anyhow - I need to get a set of DECENT paints, chromes etc - where's best ? Oh - the shell, some things worked well - some went horribly wrong - and I rushed it as usual !. No liquid mask was used at all, either paper stencils or vinyl stencils cut on the plotter.

Cheers Jab.
One too many colours in it really - looks a bit much. Still the vinyl masks worked really well, pain in the backside to apply / paint etc - but the painted oOple etc look crisp

You can get everything you need from Jon Miller at RCS, his Chrome and holo graphic stuff is the mutts nuts ! He supplies Createx which is good but I have a hatred toward it as I used solvent based paint for years and if I could find a solvent that would adhere to shells and stay there I would use that again in the blink of an eye, in the mean time I'm stuck with this water based kak which everyone else seems to get on perfectly with... except me
however a bad workman always blames his tools, which is exactly what I shall do right now !!!

Well that looks seriously cool to me, love the colours and the design is great, looks awesome, very nice work !!
Ian, why dont you try pactra?, its solvent based and I believe quite readily available, a quick google will sort you out. Andy, as Ian says Jon has pretty much anything you will need, createx is great and cleans up real easy, I've heard nothing but praise about Jons other paints as well so cant go wrong. Again nice to see you painting.

Is the Createx stuff the same - wherever you get it from ? It's just when you read about it on the Createx website, it doesn't mention lexan. Also, the RCS stuff is solvent based, is this ok to use with the Createx ? Sorry for all the questions ! My paints are mainly old Custom Colour spray cans !

Ideally you need to put solvent paint down first and back with water based. However as long as you have a nice heat gun and heat it to the point just before the paint blisters to make sure it's thoroughly dry you can use it in pretty much any order you want
Createx is essentially what I think everyone uses on here ( even me  ) and despite my hatred of it they do make some quite gorgeous colours  and it easy to clean up ( use wind screen wash, cleans it all up fine and doesn't effect any of the rubber seals in your airbrush ( if it has them ). Jon sells the Createx stuff but it's the same as available from else where, essentially though Jon is everyone's one stop shop and is no cheaper or expensive than anyone else, also his solvent based paint is great, shame he won't develop it for the hardcore fume loving idiot's like myself If you like Solvent based stuff I think Custom Colour did do a solvent range but they don't have the spectrum of colours available through Createx.
