In my continuing exploration of techniques/materials in obtaining that most desireable glass-like finish on my LP models, I've been reading some prior postings and have soaked up a fair bit of what's been talked about in the past in this forum and have started playing around with what the automotive body finishing industry has to offer.
Let me first say that I don't have the means, experience, nor the inclination to chase the myriad of options in autobody painting. I'm strictly a spray-can kind of painter (I like Krylon). I'm just looking at what is available off the shelf to help me prep, prime and between paint coats finish my models.
So to practice my technique, here's my starting point. The sustainer stage of my 2-stage Fat Boy. Done up in a US Navy Blue Angel paint scheme.
There's a few nicks here and there. It's had a fair number of flights. Originally I was going to "Future coat" the paint job, but just never got around to it.
