Hey Joe thanks my friend .

Did some painting on the Maybach .

Over all it got a spray of Floquil Old Silver . The details were painted with Tamiya XF-1 and XF-22 and a coat of Future sprayed over all .


Next will be the grease and dirt !

You puttin that in a Ferrari of an Half Track?!?!   Killer paint job Carl.

[fightnjoe]

carl am i seeing correctly, two tones on the exhaust mainfolds? looks like the silver on the top and black on the sides. i ask because it really has a look like it was masked and then painted up. wow. what an engine. what an indication of whats to come.

Hey guys been gone most of the day .It was Tony that started the lump thingy wasn't it ?

Guy , grime is on the next step .

Pete , ok , whats "per old fruit" meaning ?

Bruce , yes , sadly ,gotta muck it up .

Andy , Lui , Deano thanks guys .

Bill and Leon , yup , Cant wait to sloppy it up .

Gary , I know bro , it came out lookin far better than is required . What can I say ? I couldn't stop myself .

Joe , I can see what your speakin of . But the exhaust manifolds are entirely black . Its the coat of Future making a reflection .This look will be nothing but a memory when I get to sopping on the wash's and pigments my friend .

Leon i used oderless mineral spirits .The burnt umber went on first and was thinned to the viscosity of spray paint but it was was brushed on and the excess taken off with a dry 1/4 inch wide brush . The black wash I put on in a thicker viscosity and used the same brush and a Q tip to remove excess . Problem is the thicker black wash takes a lot longer to dry .
HTH my friend .
