hey cham2020...hows life? anyway...need to ask u 1 thing....how to paint or spray paint onto a chrome surface?

i think you need to take out the chrome paint 1st, then paint like normal.

hey thanks....but how can i take the chrome off?
tried brake fluid but no results....

do you follow automotive forums? you check them out, at automotive arts> plastic modelling

hey naka7a...isaw the forum but i couldnt find a topic on it...maybe i was going to fast....

I finished my first model this year !!
It is a Ralliart Evo VII Kit...

1) Base coat is flat black and sprayed with pearl orange ,cleared and polished
2) Interior seats from Imprezza WRX Type 4.
3) Rims from Fujimi Evo VIII GSR
4) The lamps have their edges painted black for more realistic look.
5) The rear lamps signal indicator are painted orange but it's a bit dark.

nice clean build there....but the color "particals"(<----got it right?) seemed to be a bit bigger than normal....industrial paint?
nice shine!

anyway it's been a long time since u post something here...u saw my question?

The Spirit Of Competition!!!!

yeap
it is industrial
cannot afford tamiya can sprays la bro

eh..sorry
what is your question ?

i was busy with my studies....

actually naka7a told me to search around automotive arts forum...but couldnt find the answer there...the question is how am i going to paint over a chrome part?

to me
i will just sand it
and primer and spray it
seriously

jus bought a Fujimi Ferrari F430 ... have no time to build yet

I have no choice but to rebuild this cause when i rearrange my collection , I accidently push this model down from and it broke when it hit the floor...worse it there are scratches that are deep. So i decide to rebuild it...

I gave the rims gloss silver colors...
The body is base coated with flat black and color is silver over it and cleared and polish. This created something like a 'gun metal' color effect...
Well, I find it wierd, although it is shiny it seem doesn't reflect it well..Is it
because of it is a metallic color ? However, the hood has a little orange peel problem.. I will rectify it sooner..
Another succesfull thing about this build is I manage to prevent oversanding on edges which I encountered in the RED COLOR build..
And the tyres seems to be too wide in the previous build and I rectify it already in this build..

Before ( I still love the RED one but I have another same kit but will be this color !)



After

nice rebuild...u rebuilt it in style...
where can u get this model?
i got the fujimi's....but kinda weird ler...u know what i mean...the whole thing is all off...not realistic at all...but ur's(the hasegawa's) seemed to be good!
