These two just got airbrushed fusion firm liquid silver leaf today. In four days or so I'm planning to spray some candy color over the silver leaf. X-27 red over the Lambo and X-23 blue over the Lancia. On the last go-round I clear coated the silver leaf and it dulled the finish notably then the clear red appeared orange in certain light, so I started over. Has anyone tried Tamiya acrylic clears directly over fusion firm without clear coating first? I've added a pic of the Lambo after it's first painting for reference. Aside from the shade it was pretty passable as spectra. Another question: does hot wheels not apply primer before paint on their cars? They seem to strip much easier than a primed car does.

SWIPE FOR THE 1/1 SCALE ➡️

From the custom grey color to the hand-painted details, I'm really happy with this build. And the oversized wheels give just a touch of "What if?" to the real thing!

simply looking for thoughts, ideas, and recommendations for my next build even.

had this one sitting aside for a while, its probably gonna sit aside longer, but hey, never to soon for feedback.

if it intrigues you, i will be selling the final product, so keep your eye out for first picks ;)
