hey everyone for all interested in the paintjob:
the colored parts are:
- enamel gloss-black
- enamel steel
- 4 light coats of enamel metallic-red mixed with 10%
glossblack
- high-gloss clear coat, enamel(2 apps)
- flat-black enamel
- future floor wax, acrylic(2apps)
*lightly sand and wipe with micro-fiber cloth
between apps, helps to reduce paint chipping off easily.
*airbrush pressure: 25psi
*detailing: painted with a needle brush
- acrylic chrome-silver
- acrylic blue/red mixed with gloss black
- enamel copper, gold, aluminum
*weathering: - first layer future wax to prevent oil
paint from eating away the enamel
underneath.
- artists' oil paint:
(umber, ivory black; just umber if
you want a rusted metal look like on
prime's gun, and wipe downwards)
- paint over and wipe away with
micro-fiber cloth.
- lightly airbrush with the the picked
color to reduce the weathered look.
- to get a worn metal look, gently sand
away the the edges to expose the silver
underneath.
- lightly airbrush flat-black on the tip of
the smoke stacks and prime's gun barrel.
*chroming: - Alclad II Lacquer gloss-black base (2 apps)
(this is the most important layer)
- gently polish between apps, the surface
Must be as smooth as you can get or your
chrome will look rugged.
- Alclad II Lacquer chrome
(must be airbrushed at low pressure,
~15psi. Doesn't work with paintbrush
because the paint is much too thin and
flowy)
- 2
light coats of chrome, gently buff
with micro-fiber cloth immediately after
coating, very important to get a reflective
shine, don't worry its not sticky like
enamel. Remember not to coat it excessively
or you will end up with Silver instead.
- Don't spray over chrome with future wax or
any other clear coats, it will dull it.
*use artists' masking tape to cover unwanted parts, can
be purchased at any general art store.
*a final enamel high-gloss clear coat and floor wax to
reduce paint chipping.
amazing.
Put it up on display or give it to me, either works... whatever you want, painters choice... no? Ok...
