Tonight it was time to start finishing LowBotomy. I used the following rattle cans:
Dupli-Color Filler Primer FP101 -- A high build primer for filling in small scratches.
Dupli-Color MetalCast Ground Coat MC100 -- Needed if shooting a Metalcast paint on something other then chrome (Grey w/ chrome flakes.)
Dupli-Color MetalCast Red Anodized MC200 -- Shinny red -- name says it all.
Dupli-Color Perfect Match Universal Black Metallic BUN0090 -- A black metal flake.
Sanded heavily w/ 240 paper.
I started with 1 light coat and 1 medium coat of Filler Primer.
Sanded fairly heavily w/ 240 paper.
2 light coats and 1 medium coat of Filler Primer.
Sanded w/ 320 paper followed by lightly sanding w/ 400 paper.
3 light coats of Metalcast Ground Coat.
This is where I am tonight. Tomorrow I will shoot the nose cone with Black Metallic and parts of the BT with Red Anodized.
Pictured is the MetalCast Ground Coat. It is a grey primer w/ chrome flakes. (If you want a grey metal flake this might be for you.)
