bit more engine done, and exhaust system started and my wheels, (they need more paint and laquer imo)

testing out the blue colour

and going to rebuild this lambo, also going to paint it blue for some practice and to see what laquer is best

primer applied

what you need on those wheels is a 50/50 mix of matt or satin black mixed with white spirit, dipped a cottom pad into it and wash it over the wheel, then wipe off but will leave the black in the recesses

i wash going to ask for some technique, i have revell thinners, which is probably just expensive white spirit in a fancy bottle tbh.

what is this about brake fluid i keep seeing, does it get rid of all paint and not melt the plastic.

so if i cock them up i can do this?

it will be a lot better then car paint, even if the flake isnt, which is probably will be, it wont be so thick so all the details will still be there

Dear Steve

I have ruined the lambo, i tried to spray it matt black, and the paint kinda shrunk when it dried, leaving cracks and the blue showing through.

i put the model in brake fluid and left it over night, but its not taking the paint off very well and that was £7.99 worth of brake fluid.

What should i do.

Regards
James
