Post pics of your best paint job.

Unfortunately I only build planes, so my best paint job doesn't qualify.

That paint looks wet! You should post your process if you have not already done so. 

Well I used Chrysler Plum Crazy Acrylic Enamel T hat I bought from Colors For Minatures.Hands down the best paint I have ever used on a car model.I primered it as usual with Tamiya Neutral Gray and the paint literally leveled itself.I did use a polishing kit to remove some minor defects and used a little more thinner than usual for the final coat.The paint dried like liquid glass and the results speak for themselves!

That looks really good philo!

Here's my 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A that I took best Auto of Show with last year:(She's a 30+ year old restoration that I tackled in late '14 early '15)

Aweome!Is that Tor Red or Hemi Orange?

This is the only car model that I have finished in the past 40+ years. Painted with Testor acrylics (Aluminum & Gun Metal) using crappy Testor white handle brushes and polished using a Squadron polishing stick. Made this while on deployment overseas during down time in 2005.

That looks good stik! Is that 43rd scale or 24/25th scale?

philo: Thank you sir and it's neither. It's the molded body color with Testors Ultra Gloss Enamel .......from a can.

Looks great!

The next one is a job that I just got finished up with a few months back. I need to tweek a couple of items on it for the next show but I had a lot of fun with this one.

I used Tamiya X-7 Red Acrylic for the base coat, Testors Dark Red enamel for the ghost flames and Testors Gloss Enamel Clear Coat from a can on my Revell '56 Ford F-100:

The tamiya F-1 kits are choice!   

That's a good lookin' build....and a good lookin' finish. I can see that Honda Logo reflection in the white paint.

Thanks!a polishing kit is a wonderful thing!

Thanks you. It was built very low tech with only the most basic of modeling supplies. It's Revell Germany 1/24 I believe. Unless they make their F-1s in 1/25. I have one more that I picked up on clearance at the PX there which I never built but still have in my stash.

Thank you!

That's Black and White laquer from a spray can coated with clear gloss laquer. I gave it a light sanding and polish followed by a rub down with Lemon Pledge.
