Thank You Peter!!
I went with a grey, and black base, although I may change that to a white base.

I also pulled a first place with it this past Saturday.

Nice, clean build. A white base will give it some nice contrast. |

Tinkering with different bases... Thoughts?

I assembled the brakes tonight, knocked down some of the gloss to try and make it appear more scale. I painted some of the front and rear wing pieces.

Yes Pete the pictures are crude. I am taking them on the fly with my iphone. I will break out my good camera, and lighting when I get it complete.
I will let this cure for a week, and then knock it down with some micromesh, and polish. |

OK, clear is sprayed. I still need to spray a flat/dull coat on the CF that is on the rear of the car.

I am trying to get this one finished for a local contest, so I am going to use my tried and true method.
Thank you for the heads up on the Gravity Clear.
Don't worry about contests ;) |

I have heard good things about Gravity Colors. I am waiting on them to get an Arrows A23 orange in stock. I am building a Studio 27 kit of the 2002 beauty, and I want the correct color. I will get some of their 2 part clear. I am trying to get this one finished for a local contest, so I am going to use my tried and true method.
Thank you for the heads up on the Gravity Clear. |

Looks pretty good to me so far ;) Paint and decal work looks perfect. What type of clear do you plan to use?
Thank you!
I have had good success with Mr.Super Clear Gloss U.V cut, decanted and sprayed through my airbrush.
You might want to try one of the two part urethane products. I came across a hobby paint that had very nice test results [I have a sample in my shop]. Pretty close to the automotive products I use on my models. I can get you the info tomorrow when I am back in the shop. Best thing about two part is they enhance the color in a good way. |
