Went to a few car shows this summer and noticed that street gassers are pretty popular. So I decided to build me one out of the Revell kit. So far I airbrushed the body with Alclad bright silver candy base then fogged in some black base and then the candy ruby red on top of that.Then the next day I clear coated it with Alclad gloss clear. More soon.Thanks for looking!   |

This was the first time I used this Alclad with a fade. I'm happy with it but hoping to get better with the fade. Thanks Pete-no this is not the aqua gloss its the gloss alc 310. |

Do you like it??? and does it dry hard enough to cut/buff...I'm always looking for solvent based products that are easy to use/work with. I do use Alclad paints, just haven't used their clear gloss...yet...

Those are good questions Mike. As you know.....we'll be on the hunt for a gloss that's as good as Wet Look.

I do use Alclad paints, just haven't used their clear gloss...yet... This clear is new to me too Pete. You shoot it right out of the bottle, it dries quick, goes on real nice and keeps a shine just like the wet look clear. I don't know if it can be cut and buffed, I didn't try that yet. Also I don't know if it will work on any other paints ,will have to give that a try. |

It's lookin' like I may just pick some up and use it on a "spare" so I can work with some. Thanks for the info Mike.

LOL...I was out and about today. Picked some of that clear up. Going to try it on a few different paint systems/decals, see how it plays out. My understanding is that its pretty mellow and plays nice with decals. We shall see... |

Ok guys, I did a test spray on a bumper from the parts box. The base coat is Tamiya ts-51 Telefonica blue sprayed right out of the can. Then I waited 30 min. to spray on the Alclad clear. The test turned out good with no issues. Pete-I used this clear over the decals on the Pure Hell car with no issues at all. I also sanded the Vette with 3000 and sprayed on 3 more coats of alclad clear. This car looks much better now. I don't think I will be buffing this one.     |

Thanks Deano This was an awesome kit to build had a lot of fun building it. It was also the first time I airbrushed alclad candy and clear. The paint went on very nice put the clear coat is still a little to soft to cut and buff. Looks like i'll be looking for another clear that cures a little faster...lol As always thanks for the nice comments guys. More pics in on the road.  |
