paint for Petty No.43

Thanks for the look Tank Builder - how about a picture of your final result?     

Hi pathvet 9 :

 Your thread caught my eye , Because , I got that in the clear bodied version , Waay Back .

 I painted it like I did my M.E.262 , Splotches of color and big clear areas . Why ? Well , so I could show off all the Greeblies I put  under the car body !

 It is an impressive kit , But , I recommend being careful with the suspension . It can be weak . That is , when done , a heavier than normal car kit !

Darn - I forgot to continue the thread on this but I have since received both Petty Blue and STP Red (from HobbyWorld - good service and reasonable shipping costs from NH) and have started using the paint. Goes on well but I am not to the point of clear coating yet. It dries flat.

Also, another friend suggested that I first put down a light silver coat after primer to bring out the colors so I got a Siver Zero Pasint also and it goes down well and shows imperfections that need further sanding.

Thanks to all for the help.

Tried HobbyWorld and Zero paints are backordered, bummer. I found Petty Blue but not anything called STP Red. Is there another name for it?

 

Gravity Colors carries a Petty blue.  I've heard mixed reviews about service but my first order showed up within a few days.  My second order says processing for 3 weeks now so jury is still out.

Anyhow - here's the link:  https://www.gravitycolors.com/product/petty-blue/

I really want these guys to succeed.

Zero Paints offer both colors. HobbyWorld USA carries Zero stuff. I've dealt with them a few times and had great experiences.
