But could b a while because I have 3 projects going as of right now. Most people that I know don't like the 80's early 90's mustangs but I do probably if it weren't 4 my first car '86 mustang 4 banger though:nodno: and very rusty wat u expect 4 $50:lol: . I have a few blue paints but not as nice as the blue that you got just love that paint:bigwink: Can't wait 2 see when done!!

im hoping (when and if i finish it) ill be painting my 88 LX 5.0 a color close to the one i have chosen,i would have gotten the convertible but i have 4 hatchbacks of my own right now (the real ones), my most current car is a 93 4 banger that my dad traded my cousin a truck for, getting it on the road with in the next few weeks

thanks

Could you try to use better grammar, it's not just for me, it's "4" the rest of the people on the site as well. :bigwink:

Blue504, looks amazing. The paint is great looking, sooo smooth. That's why I love model kits, almost no prep required.

[XmodzICON82]

are you gonna use a front clip from another xmod or are you gonna make a custom one for it....

the paint was smooth but thick on one side, i tried to level it out with one more coat, but it didnt work, so now i have this,

http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff127/blue504life/CIMG0583.jpg
pealed off all the paint with a knife (hence the bondo), then a little paint thiner to finish it off

im out of paint now, hopping to get some soon, maybe by the weekend it will be painted, if not it will be a few weeks (i have finals next week, failing 3 classes :lol: )

[RedSXmodder]

Dang man. That paint was on its way to perfect, if you wouldn't have messed up the third coat! My painting skills lack, so I just build motors, lol...

This one should turn out pretty sweet!

Later,

[blue504life]

are you gonna use a front clip from another xmod or are you gonna make a custom one for it....

im sorry didnt see you earlier, so far all of my custom bodys have used the scion front clip with out any modification, but i only have one rear clip for all the custom stuff :(

i messed up on the second coat, and the paint from the first was just luck nothing was in it after i painted it, it was kinda windy that day

[blue504life]

well i had enough paint to cover the body and hood, but hood needs to be sanded down again more bubles in the paint

not the best pic but gets the job done, its from my phone

[blue504life]

don't worry you're not alone lol

haha ya im impatient, but there are a few thick spots and thin spots, bjut im fixing that now respray tomorrow

[theoriganalRiD3R1967]

...a recoat will def. clear those things up, the worst are bubbles, if i see them immidatley after the first coat, i blow on the paint lightly so the paint spreads away from the bubbles, but you gotta do it before it dries

good tip, the paint more so runs than anything else, but that could be because the stuff is like 8 years old, but new can soon, i hope

[theoriganalRiD3R1967]

ooohh, runny paint, that might interfere with your hood if you want it to open, could act like glue, be careful, good luck

[blue504life]

it doesnt interfere with the hood but if it stuck it wouldnt be a bad thing, the paint dries quick, but still runs, hood is drying now, pic soon

[F-100CuStOmCaB]

I used to suck at spray painting, every time it would run or not go where I wanted to so got spots that weren't painted but seems now I have like mastered the spray can. Just painted a body i'm making on sunday after 3 or 4 coats don't remember that was 3 days ago lol. Any way when dried not a run not a spot missed and was layed on totally even all round, just perfect.

what kind of paint do you use?

[F-100CuStOmCaB]

For this particular project I used plasti-kote midnight blue that I got on clearence for like $1.95 at Wally World. Does it really make a difference in brand cause I guess I never payed attention if so?

O so you just use your basic cheap stuff? the blue i was using was ment for model bodys

[F-100CuStOmCaB]

Yea basically, this paint that I got is actually intended for sport utility & truck touch up. I thought about using a air brush for painting here on out but I don't really have any paints for the air brush and my friend has one and said that the paint is rather quite expensive for what you get, its just a little bottle for like $5 prob. like an oz or 2

-im trying to get a air brush set but its not cheap, and paint is about 2.50 for 1/4 oz of enamel but if you use the paint thiner the way it should be used, it can last a while

[blue504life]

ok need an opinion, hood stripe style is from a 85 GT, should i make it like the 85 style or have a full hood stripe?

85 style
http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff127/blue504life/sk109.jpg

[Donziikid]

My mom had that hood style on her 85' Mustang. I've seen pictures of it and it looked pretty good (white body with the flat black GT stripe). I'd say go for it, it'd look cool. :cool:

im pretty sure i am i just wanted to see what people liked

that question is for both my project car and my full size project car, that will look a lot like this cobra will

[theoriganalRiD3R1967]

i have to agree, don't toa a full stripe, the...85?...one you showed would look really good against the blue, you'll probably go with black right?, are thinking of flat or gloss, gloss might go better IMO for this type of application

[SkysTheLimit]

I'd go with the '85 style stripe. It would look cleaner on the whole car.

i wasnt a fan of it at first either, and now i have 3 xmods and 4 of the real thing, they kinda grow on you, but what looks better a mustang II or a foxbody?

[bestdragon2001]

I dont really like mustangs, not saying I wouldnt mind having one. Its just that I would rather drive a chevy. But still yours looks really nice.
