That '59 looks great philo!! Nice BMF job on the sides!

Old Goat: What did you use for a gloss coat on that Charger? Looks great BTW!

 

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. 

I agree mighty fine finishes   

Thanks!we have some geat paint jobs on this thread!

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

 

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.

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

The tamiya F-1 kits are choice!   

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:

Looks great!

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

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.

Aweome!Is that Tor Red or Hemi Orange?

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)

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

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