CDW Posted September 11 Author #64 Posted September 11 Porsche Carrera GT - Front Clip - a special shout-out to Dennis Graham for turning me on to Scale Finishes enamel paints. It's the 1st time I have used it and am very pleased with the performance of the paint. They mixed this unique Porsche color, Signal Yellow, upon request and it matches perfectly with photos of the real car. I took the front clip out of my dehydrator for these photos, and will now place it back inside to allow the enamel to cure/bake in. I found it helpful to add a squirt of Mr Color Leveling Thinner 400 to help the paint self-level. Just a few drops into the cup of my airbrush before giving it the last coat of paint. I put on three light coats then one last heavier coat at the end.

CDW Posted September 12 Author #67 Posted September 12 14 hours ago, king derelict said: Beautiful finish Craig. You need some cat hairs 😃 Alan One of the beauties of spraying on enamel, a random hair or speck of matter that gets into the paint while spraying can be carefully removed (before it sets up) with a set of fine tip tweezers then another coat of enamel will level out the spot where that trash was located so you never see it ever happened. Unlike lacquer or acrylic which kick off too quickly to allow that, The downside to enamel is a wait for a week or two for it to fully cure to the extent it can be handled without fear of leaving fingerprints. Enamel dries from the top down. It may look or even feel like it has set up when it really has not. It's still wet underneath.

Landlubber Mike Posted September 12 #68 Posted September 12 Wow Craig, that finish is amazing! Yellow is not an easy color to paint, and probably even harder to pull off when trying to replicate a showroom finish. Really well done! With the enamel/this brand, do you think the undercoat made a difference? Or does the enamel give a solid yellow color regardless of the undercoat color? mtaylor, Jack12477, Canute and 2 others 5 Quote Mike Current Wooden builds: Amati/Victory Pegasus MS Charles W.

With the enamel/this brand, do you think the undercoat made a difference? Or does the enamel give a solid yellow color regardless of the undercoat color? It's been explained to me this way: Enamel dries to a surface finish that is nonporous whereas lacquers and acrylics are porous. While enamel has slow dry and cure times which are a pain to deal with, and slow down production, a glossy surface can be achieved without the polishing and buffing that's needed on lacquer finishes. Scale model car builders, particularly the old school ones, prefer enamel for model cars. I used a white lacquer primer for this color and the enamel went down with no problems, easily covering and reaching the intended color. Scale Finishes mixes and bottles his colors using DuPont Axalta paints, a high-quality brand. Surface preparation makes ALL the difference in a final finish. You want that surface to be prepared to where it feels as smooth as a baby's butt when you lay down your color.

CDW Posted September 22 Author #75 Posted September 22 After giving the front body clip the enamel paint job, I put it in the dehydrator, set to a temperature of 122 degrees F for 24 hours. Then waited ten days before handling the painted piece, giving it plenty of time to cure. I don't want nasty fingerprints and prefer to err on the side of caution. The headlight lenses were cemented in, the headlamp buckets painted and cemented in place along with the air intake pieces and radiator. The front clip rests in place dry-fitted so to speak. It will actually be screwed into place in later stages of the build. Next stages include painting and installing the door jambs and door hinges. Then doors and inner door panels. It will be a slow process while I wait for enamel paint to cure and dry. Same paint process as described before.

Saw a lady last week with one as an emotional support dog. It was a cutie, too. The most common paint on these Porsche Carrera GTs seems to be either silver or black, so I didn't want that. Then I read this particular yellow was done by special order for this single Porsche at a customer request. I like the yellow as well. The pup I bought for our youngest daughter, the 27-year-old who lives with us. The pups feel like another one of my children, maybe even like grandchildren. I think the older I get; I am becoming more attached to pets. It wasn't like that for me when I was a younger man. I never let myself become emotionally attached to pets.

Canute Posted September 26 #87 Posted September 26 We are getting clobbered with rain here in western NC. Yesterday we set a record with 4.1 inches. Drought, what drought. Biggest issue is some road cuts in US highways. Rainband from the northeast into Helene runs right over the top of Henderson County. This stuff will keep at it until Saturday. 😞 Old Collingwood, mtaylor, CDW and 1 other 1 3 Quote Ken Started: MS Bounty Longboat, On Hold: Heinkel USS Choctaw paper Down the road: Shipyard HMC Alert 1/96 paper, Mamoli Constitution Cross, MS USN Picket Boat #1 Scratchbuild: Echo Cross Section Member Nautical Research Guild

I went thru one of those early fall hurricanes way back as a younker, inside the house the wind was whistling like it was a train whistle roaring by, lost a lot of trees, those big willows, tipped out of the ground like they were growing out of mud.... Thankfully the one in the back yard didn't go over... Scary stuff.... mtaylor, Jack12477, Canute and 2 others 3 1 1 Quote Current Build: F-86F-30 Sabre by Egilman - Kinetic - 1/32nd scale In the Garage: East Bound & Down, Building a Smokey & the Bandit Kenworth Rig in 1/25th scale Completed: M8A1 HST 1930 Packard Boattail Speedster M1A1 75mm Pack Howitzer F-4J Phantom II Bell H-13's P-51B/C Temporary Suspension: USS Gwin DD-433 F-104C Starfighter "Blue Jay Four" 1/32nd Scale Terminated Build: F-104C Starfighter ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote: "Relish Today, Ketchup Tomorrow"
