Finish on model cars

Dec 23, 2003 5 Replies

Hi,



Someone posted a while back with a link to a really good page about producing a good gloss finish on model cars. I am now building a model motorbike and would like to refer to that page but I have been unable to find it.



If anyone out there knows the page I'm talking about could you please repost?



Thanks, Mark.

Some modellers swear by nail polish colors to provide a vibrant colored automotive finish.

Mike,

Thanks a lot - that's excellent. I'm not sure what the deal is with decals on the bodywork though? The bike I am doing has lots of decals and I was thinking maybe to polish up the finish and then place the decals, followed by a gloss varnish.

Anyone got any thoughts on that?

Cheers, Mark.
