RE: The RCFW Hellcat Group Build
HI ALL
I HAVE MADE SOME PROGRESS THIS WEEKEND. I GOT SOME PAINT ON THE PLANE. I AM USING PPG ACRYLIC ENAMEL FOR THE BLUE. KRYLON AND TESTORS FOR THE MARKINGS AND WEATHERING. THE BLUE I USED IS A LITTLE LIGHTER THOUGH IT DEPEND ON THE LIGHT. IN NORMAL LIGHTING IT IS ABOUT THE RIGHT COLOR, IN FULL SUN IT BRIGHTENS UP. NOT PLANNED BUT SHOULD HELP VISABILITY.
WORD OF WARNING I STARTED TO USE TESTORS WATERBASED ACRYLIC FOR THE WHITE. I HAVE FOUND THAT WATER BASED PAINT CAN BE SPRAYED WELL IF IT IS THINNED ENOUGH, HOWEVER IT DOESNT WORK OVER GLOSS VERY WELL. BY THE TIME I GOT IT THICK ENOUGHT TO NOT BALL UP LIKE WATER ON GLASS IT WAS COMING OUT LIKE MARBLES!!!!!!! I AM SURE THERE ARE OTHER WAYS AROUND THIS I CHOSE KRYLON.
HAVE FUN
