- FINALLY!!!!!!!!!! This is the Auto Air / Wicked Pearl Blue color coat video. I have had a few delays and a major setback which I talk about in the video, but the paint job is finally complete with clear top coat. Also, this is a rather long video, so I apologize ahead of time..Thanks for hanging in there with me and for your continued support. I do appreciate it very much!
Happens to the best of buddy, the trick is getting back in the saddle and getting after it again, well done!

Damn brother that is one nice paint job and the model demons have hit me as well, everything I touch goes to heck in a hand basket quickly. Beautiful colour Gary. Cheers
Thanks Wayne. It seems like the bad luck just snowballs sometimes. Just have to persevere I guess. I appreciate your support brother!
Beautiful paint job!! I find Createx is becoming more and more my go to paint for everything!
It's a very good paint. Can be a little finicky but once you get your routine down it works well.
Excellent video you are so right modelling for 50y and still learning Gary thanks 🙏 George in uk 🇬🇧🇺🇸

Thank you Kenny. I appreciate the kind words brother. It finally decided to cooperate.

Thank you sir!
Great work Buddy
Thanks man! I really appreciate it.
Nice work . I'm looking in to getting a air brush kit. Never done airbrush before. But I need it. Awesome job man. New sub and looking forward to seeing more! Take care
Thanks Brando. An airbrush really makes a difference in your builds. Just be patient and don't get frustrated. I'll be glad to help you if you need it. Appreciate you watching brother.
I'm sure I'll need some help thank you !!
Hey brother I’m sorry for just disappearing I was in a bad place in my life everything hit all at once and I went off the rails but I think I have my mind and body in a better place I hope you and your family are doing well and thank you so much for always being there for me and my family
No apologies ever necessary to me my friend. I haven't done any videos or any building for about five months. Just hit a wall sort of and needed a long break. I'll be back before too much longer. Just had to get my mind clear as well. I have been thinking about you and hoping you have been alright.
mc model works I understand brother and I just wanted to let you know I am sorry for not let you a person I respect and think the world of my brother I will be here for you and myself as well
@@Roadhog0822 I certainly appreciate that buddy. Good friends like you are hard to find. I am continuing to wish the best for you and am anxious to see that truck finished.
Your persistence paid off in a big way. Thst looks fantastic. Just about to start playing with the Createx stuff myself. Think I will practice on a bunch of plastic spoons to get started? Do you have any pointers to share?
I would say the biggest thing is to thin with 4011 reducer for most everything in their line.
@@mcmodelworks thank you
the paint did turn out very sweet but a long road to get there
You're not kidding brother! I really appreciate you watching.
Ever thought about using clear gloss nail polish for a clear topcoat. Dollar store a Dollar a bottle.
Very good tutorial video Gary glad things worked out this time around. Oh the pitfalls of model building it does seem every kit is a learning process and sometimes you want to just pull your hair out..........................................................................................Ken
Thanks Ken. Yep....this hobby teaches humility the hard way sometimes. I appreciate your support brother!
When you refer to the testors gloss coat are you referring to the bottle of testors gloss cote that come in identical bottle as testors enamel thinner or are you referring to testors model master top coat that comes in 1/2 jars?
Testors / Model Master Gloss Enamel clear that comes in the half ounce bottles.
She looks great did figure out why
Thanks brother! I appreciate it.
Turned out great Gary, no point in rushing to a deadline, just keep building and finish when it's done. What needle/tip do you use on your Paasche H?
This one is a #3 needle / nozzle set-up. I have another one set up for a #5 needle / nozzle set-up. I use the #3 much more than the #5. Too much overspray for my paint booth set-up. The #3 puts out more than enough, but the booth will handle that. I shot this paint and clear at 35 pounds with the needle open a little passed half way.
I just got a bunch of wicked pearl and the candy2o paints. Would it be better using a black base for pearlized? BTW that Torino came out uber nice!
Looks nice. What brand and color was the base coat?
Base color was Wicked Aluminum.
What is the mixing ratio for this paint? What psi? Needle size?
I don't remember the mix ratio. Needle is the #3 needle / nozzle combo from Paasche which is .7 mm. 32 psi.
I want to use Wicked pearl blue from auto air did you mix it with 4030 balancing clear or 4011 reducer?
I used 4030 balancing clear amd 4012 high performance reducer.
Hello, How much thinner aprox. used with the Wicked paints?
Generally about 20% of 4011 reducer.. I don't use the 4012 any longer.
Paint turned out great Gary! What clear did you use when it wrinkled on you? Keep building brother
Thanks Ron. I used what I used the second go around.......Testors Gloss Enamel mixed 50 / 50 with lacquer thinner. I think it was an older bottle the first time as it had turned a little yellow, but I have used it before like that. Usually it's fine as long as it doesn't stay cloudy when you add the lacquer thinner, and it didn't, but it sure didn't want to stay on the car the first time. I should have mentioned that in the video. Appreciate you watching brother!
@@mcmodelworks right on Gary! I've heard and seen great things about Testors clear top coat. I wonder if maybe the wait time between painting and clearing was too long or not long enough. I know some automotive paint/clear has a very specific timeline and even being a few minutes ahead or behind can make a mess of things for you quick.
Great job. What was your mix on the candy blue and the other blue that you used?
I'm going to be building a tamiya subaru wrc 2001 and I have a pot of this paint is it similar to the subaru colour or does it come out too light thanks
What PSI are you using? Thanks.
30 to 35 pounds
Gary, beautiful work... question, (not a car builder) how do windows and other parts bond to the body with that level of paint/clear applied.
The paint t is actually very thin and even though it looks like a lot of paint, it really isn't. I use a product called Crafters Pick for the windows and clear parts. It is good stuff. It is thick and is white, but dries clear. Holds very well and bonds to the parts pretty strongly.
@@mcmodelworks thanks Gary, will follow your channel, thumbs up!
Thanks Brian. We have some good stuff coming up this year.
Great job as usual........Did that have a clear finish coat of was that just paint?
Testors gloss enamel cut with lacquer thinner.
Have you ever sprayed rustoleum or duplicolor clears or other box store clears on testors enamel?
The clear is fairly expensive compared to a large can of the above mentioned clears?
Thanks in advance.
Yes. I have tried Duplicolor, Rustoleum, Krylon etc. Don't much care for any of them. They don't apply very well and if I do use them, I decant them and spray out of my airbrush. Much better results. Rustoleum and Krylon are enamel based and Duplicolor is automotive lacquer, so you have to be careful with it. I wouldn't attempt it over Testors enamel. My favorite by far is Testors clear enamel gloss mixed 50/50 with lacquer thinner.
Yes sir when thing happen they happen
Yes they do! Thanks for watching.
Great video. What’s the brand of the spray booth your using? Thx
The one I had at the time of the video was one I ordered off of e-bay. Not sure of the brand. I gave it to my stepson. The one I have now is made by Paasche. It moves twice as much air as my old one. Thanks for watching brother!
What do you mix your paint with?
Auto Air 4012 reducer
You said you misted the inside of the paint booth with water before applying your paint? Does that keep the paint from adhering to your booth?
It does help with that some, but the main reason is to keep dust and debris from flying around from the air pressure of the airbrush. That's an old school trick from older automotive paint booths. We used to hose down the interior walls of those old paint booths before down draft and high tech extractor fans.
@@mcmodelworks Great idea. Thanks for the tip. Also, noticed you aren't using a gravity fed airbrush here. Any particular reason for that?
What type of paint are you using? Acrylic?
Auto Air acrylic resin. It's automotive grade acrylic.
Wow I thought that paint was purple?now it’s blue!🤔🧐🤨
My light in the paint booth sometimes makes dark blue look purple, but it was blue.
Came out cool👍,I love candy apple red, would have looked awesome in some sort of like raspberry metallic something!!
🤣😁😅
Beautiful work Gary !!, I had a paint disaster with the Chevy pickup I just finished too.....it happens to us all just like you said.
Thanks brother! Yeah. There is no way to avoid it completely. Just have to do what we can to recover. I really appreciate you watching!
