Hi Ramon,

:welcome

i would love to see in a step by step guide how you did this incredible paintjob. :top
Maybe you should participate in our "pimp my ride" scratchbuilt Contest.

Greetings

Hi homer, it will be difficult to explain but i will do my best to write it.

after smoothing primer with 2000 sandpaper,some liquid soap( to decrease scratches) and water I come with some basecotes.
(when I smooth primer I will certify that the primer will come glossy and have a smooth semi matt to a little bi glossy.that is the secret.

1st.
Choose a colour (as the BMW I chose the british racing green one)
To mantain the 3 tone green I use some basic silver metalic to fade out the green.
2nd mix the green (1 spoon) with silver (3spoons) , so it will come 1:3 silver.
3rd spray the front (bonnet, mudguards and partly the roof and doors).
4th leave to dry well,preferibly 2 hours.
5th mask the front
IMP the part you are masking must be covered well so there will be no colour diffusion.
6th mix the 1:3 remaining mixed paint (in 2nd step) with 1 spoon of original green and check that colour is darkened from the first you sprayed.
7th leave to dry the second colour and mask again the 2 toned colour together with the first you sprayed(the lighter green).
8th than give the solid colour and leave to dry.
9th remove all masking carefully and slowly.
10th give laquer.

regards ramon

have a look at this

as part of the contest what I should do homer? Pimp my ride
Can I compete asI am in Malta?

Hi Ramon,

the next Contest will start officially in January 2007.

After present conditions there will be two categories:

The first will probably be called “Pimp my Ride”
Only modified and repainted Slotcars with a standart chassis can participate in this category.

In the second category, the so-called “open category” only Slotcars with a scratch built chassis can participate . The topic here is is generally “Tuning” from "Pimp my Ride" to classic Tuning.

In both categories only road vehicles are shown. No race-cars.
Beyond that only new built 1/32 cars, which were not shown yet, are allowed.

The Contest is to run at least 3 months.

Details to the conditions of participation will be published with the official Start of the Contest in January.

Every Member of this Forum can participate in the Contest.

A little donation as small price ist always welcome, but of course voluntarily.

Greetings Homer
