Hey all. Finally got a bit of work done on the 68 Corvette Roadster Im currently working on. Heres the parts all cleaned up and primered.
Also got everything painted but the body and hood.
I have to paint the one group of pieces Silver yet (I substituted Silver for the Satin Black parts) because I didnt like all the black parts in the build. Minus the Body and Hood every other part in the kit is Flat, Gloss or Satin Black. So the Satin black parts are going to be Silver. I still painted them a gloss black first then will hit them with Silver tomorrow evening before I shoot the hood and body.
Dkev wow thanks for the info on the Patriot 105. What a huge difference in the amount of paint used when I turned the PSI back to 15 and barely pulled the trigger back. This airbrushing is getting to be a bit of fun now that Im getting the hang of it. I did realize something tonight. I was wondering why I would get short bursts of paint and wouldnt feel like barely any air was coming out of the airbrush at times. When I cleaned the airbrush to quit for the evening it appeared the tip was gunked up. I need to pay closer attention to that from now on when shooting with the airbrush.
More to come tomorrow evening.
