Small update tonight. The wheels were painted with Alclad gloss black and they looked great. I was seriously thinking of leaving them black but that will be for my next Z-tune. After trying a decal on a spoon painted with Alclad black chrome, the decal carrier film was too obvious so black chrome wheels ain't gonna happen. So I had to find another colour. With this dilemma, any self respecting Dad would ask a colour expert so I asked my little man Brock. I'd previously sprayed 10 spoons different colour Alclads.
Brock picked the same colour that I liked so I sprayed a wheel in Alclad Jet Exhaust. We're both very happy with the colour. I like that the wheels change colour slightly, much like the MP3.
Once again they look better IRL. I also picked Gunze semi gloss to clear coat the interior.
Now today I had a delivery I'd been hanging to get. My birthday pressies turned up and I'm stoked.
This is the same airbrush that I already have. I wanted another one for spraying exclusively clear coats so they won't be contaminated by any other colours. My current airbrush has now been assigned to metallic colours only.
I've been wanting one of these for ages. It's basically the same as the previous airbrush only made from aluminium instead. The cool thing is that all the spare needles, nozzles, orings etc from the other airbrushes fit this one as well. This airbrush is gonna be my everything else airbrush. I'm looking forward to giving it a crack.
Tomorrows optomistic plan includes painting the rest of the wheels, clear coating the interior and maybe do the carpet. But the first thing I'll be doing is gloss coating the body. I can't wait to see what the colour looks like once it's been clear coated. Stay safe peeps
