touchuppaint won't look right. model paint is ground to a much finer metal flake size on the metallics and such.

 

you have to get model paint...

i can get you real WRB diecast paint from japan if you want.

which diecast did you get?

Don is it 1/18

 

your best bet is to find a hobby store that carries autoart models and have them order it for you... in the eastridge mall i know there is a real cool model store upstairs that carries top notch import models....

that reminds me i have to go down there soon the get some X-MAS presents.....

edgar,

 

good call....


also, as far as technique goes.....I would only airbrush the model....You will get the best results that way.

Also.....MASKING TAPE IS YOUR FRIEND!!!!!! USE IT WHERE NEEDED (windows, lights, wheels, etc.)

Don,may kasagutan ka na naman sa kabilang topic ha

 

hey don...you can just go to kragen and grab one of those spray touch up cans. it should work nicely.
