i bought this can thinking it would be something like a Petty blue, but a little darker. the idea was to get it close to original Aurora medium blue, and replicate the original Tjet Mach 1 I traded away many years ago when I was young and foolish.

doesn't LOOK metallic on the sticker on the lid... BUT... this is what it looks like on the car.

because i seldom get paint to go down this well, i'm not gonna complain... just have to buy another Nu-Rora kit and find the right paint this time...

Can't argue with success...

It's a keeper Rick. Dab the details on, get a chassis under it, and your work here is done. :hat: nd

 

[bobhch]

So does this get a #24 on the doors now?

rick,

Hey that paint did go down nice for you. gotta love that! Love all the detail on this body.

I know Nuther Dave took a look at that and started plotting out what he would do with it. Just like the mad slot car scientist he is ahahahahahahahahaahha.

Bob...If I had lots of money I tell yah what I'd do...I'd go out and buy me a Mustang or two...zilla

You can't argue with a smooooth paint job!!! I'm sure somewhere in his career Jeffy had some flake in his paint, being the Dupont boy and all..:tongue: If at first you don't succeed, try try again.. Just use a new body cause that one came out sweet!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

 

[T-Jet Racer]

That is a sweet color, great addition to any collection!

 

[Hilltop Raceway]

When paint comes out that good, just leave it and get another body to paint!!! I likes that flavor myself!!! Detail it out and roll with it...RM

I just painted the same body. It also turned out to be one of my better paint jobs. The paint is Testors one coat lacquer.

Both look nice so far. Can't wait to see the follow up pix with the details added. :thumbsup::thumbsup: rr

I LOVE that matallic blue paint. Way to bring that car up to date! :thumbsup:

(I don't really think it was a goof. LOL)

 

[brownie374]

I never tried the laquer paint,Does it like the future clearcoat?

The orange one was dipped in Future and so far no ill effects.

Both look nice so far.

Indeed!!
I often use Testors but i use them with my airbrush.
So the result looks ...not as good as the both Mach1.

Kind regards

[kiwidave]

Go the Fords!!! I like both the colors but that blue has my attention!

 

[win43]

ParkRNDL I love your Stang :thumbsup::thumbsup: Hope you don't think I was hi-jacking your thread.

Love your painting gizmo. Gonna have to make me one of those.

 

[ParkRNDL]

hey wow. i wasn't near a computer yesterday, so i couldn't get on till now... had no idea i generated all that response! thanks for all the props. i'm debating between doing a bare-bones Aurora-type detail job (mask/paint the flat black areas and hit a couple details with a silver marker) or going with MORE detail... i think i'm less likely to screw it up if i go simple. original Mach 1s in nice shape always look good without much detail paint added...

and that orange is SWEET. the paint gizmo is just a piece of a tongue depressor (oversized popsicle stick) with notches cut in the ends for screws, and screwed to the end of a piece of dowel. it's always laying at the edge of the layout when i'm not painting something, so it gets used a lot to hook cars that have deslotted at the other side of the table... :lol:
