Just taking a break from cutting up mine. Talk about a PITA, well worth it though.

Agreed, that is a PITA mod to do but it looks so good when its done. I've done 4 grills that way so far. What brand of paint are you going to be using on the body? |

I will also be doing this to the Marlin truck... As for the paint i use auto primer...  1A. 3-5 coats of auto primer, sanding between coats (400 grit sand paper) I use model master paint (water base), i mix it 2 parts paint to 1 part water... 1B. I airbrush first coat, then after about 4 hours in front of a heat light and 20 hours just sitting, i then wet sand it with 400 grit sand paper in warm water with a bit of dish soap (to help lube the sand paper) it also makes it so not as much paint comes off... Let it sit for 24 hours before sanding for best results... 2B. Then i airbrush 1-2 coats depending how it lays down, then repeat 1B... Let it sit for 24 hours before sanding for best results... 3B. Then i airbrush and repeat 2B, then i give it a final 1000 grit wet sanding... Let it sit for 24 hours before sanding for best results... Then i let it sit for about 2-6 days so it will harden because the paint is very soft... 4B. Then after i got all my paint on and its been super sanded , don't worry if your paint looks dull. Then i hit it with auto clear coat in a spray can, i spray about 2-3 light coats no sanding between coats of clear...The paint is prety hard and it will take a lot to scratch the basecoat... After it sits for about 2-5 days it should be AOK to crawl. Any questions please just ask.... | |
