I'll use em on my next paint job for sure! :D

Trying to decide what wheels to do for the Gazelle thinking

It'll have flames in the paint so I guess they kinda gotta match that style

No doubt you have searched and seen, but this design gets my vote.
Chopper wheels but you get the idea.

But the old school billet style would look cool too.

Laid down some of that Galaxy colourshift lala paint today. Still getting some stipplies on the larger flatter areas like the roof. No big though, will wetsand the icko parts and then do the fatboy coats. Should be dandy :D

Here's the curvy front bumper

Gonna finish the colour coats off tomorrow probably then it's time for clear... Flat clear after some days of curing :D

It'll look weird, that's a given :lol: But yeah it'll mute the paint a little for sure. The dude from SMS says it wont erase the effect if I do Tamiya flat clear over it so I trust him... Kinda :lol:

Going for something not-so-glossy like this Mustang I saw on IG. Such a look.

It’ll look amazing in flat.

I’m glad the dudes at SMS said it won’t wreck the paint as I’ve flat clear Tamiya bright red and the colour completely changed. I look forward to seeing how it turns out!!!

Oh yeah definitely :lol: I'll do a couple. I rekon I'll do a couple wimpyboy coats of the flat clear with the airbrush to seal it then maybe one leveling coat with the rattlecan.

The colour might change a little but I'm cool with that, as long as the effect is there. Super excited to even just have some fancy dancy paint going now :lol: Planning so many builds in my head based on the paints lol

Here's the body. Thats a couple thin coats over the black basecoat. Still a fatty coat to lay down after fixing the pooey bits :lol:

And a quick splash of flat clear on the Kranze centers Sandy sent me donkeys ago. LOVE these wheels.
