Was wondering what is a good rattle can spray paint for the orange-red interior ?
Prefer a Tamiya TS color if one of them is a close match.
But others would be OK if they are a better match.
Thanks |

The Duplicolor Chevrolet Orange-Red #DE-1607 is what I use. To me, nothing kills the look of the Goodwrench cars quicker than when the interior is too red and not orange enough. Once the body goes over the car with all that black, it takes a BRIGHT orange-red to stand out like the 1:1. Also, I've used this same 1607 for the last few "poppy red" builds I've done.

Thanks -- I've been reluctant to use the Duplicolor spray paints. It's not really fair since I haven't actually tried them. I looked up the DE-1607 and I see it's actually "engine enamel with ceramic". When I see stuff on the label like on this one "withstands heat up to 500 deg.".. etc. I get worried it might be kind of thick paint ?
Are spraying the chassis/roll cage in one coat? or several light ones ?
Also -- what primer are you using on the chassis before spraying this ?
Thanks for your help. |

If I'm not mistaken, I used Krylon CoverMax medium grey primer under the DupliColor with no issues at all. As far as the thickness of the DupliColor, I found it to go on smoother and somewhat thinner than Testor's Bright Red enamel and several others. I've been able to spray each body I've used it on employing the same spray technique I use with Tamiya Lacquers which is a couple of quick dust coats, two medium coats, and a final wet coat. I've found it to be really user-friendly and after about 48-72 hrs. of drying, polishes out particularly well.

Thanks for that detailed reply. I helps a lot.
I'm not a fan of Testors spray enamel (well, I did like the way it was made back in 1989) -- I'm sure it is thinner !
How much time do you wait between the coats of the Tamiya spray that you described ?
Thanks ! |

What I usually do between the full coats is wait until it tacks up to the touch (by checking a spot on the underside or on masking tape if it has it). I spray in an open garage more often than not so depending on the weather, 3-5 minutes between coats most of the time.

Thanks for the info.
On the body, are you sanding the primer coat ? If so, I was just wondering how fine a grit you use and whether you are doing that wet or dry ?
Thanks again. |

Although I probably don't sand any two just alike, if I'm using the Krylon primer I'll go over the primed body lightly with some new dry 800gr. just to knock down any feathering or overspray then wash it good and wet sand it first with 1000gr. then a wet sand of 1500 or either 2000 gr. Depending on what paint I'm spraying (the Tamiya lacquers for instance because they're thinner and less forgiving of poor prep) I may very well finish it up with a new section of dry 3000GR. soft pad.
On the other hand, if I'm using Tamiya fine primer, I go straight to the wet 1500 or 2000. and in some cases, don't sand the Tamiya fine at all.

On the Lumina I just finished last year, I order paint from Scale Finishes. I ordered the Calypso Coral from 1970 Ford colors which I believe was Poppy Red in the mid 60's. I got the 2 oz. enamel bottle and airbrushed it. The have it in lacquer and enamel. There was enough for a couple models in that one bottle.
Here's the link
