This is coming along really nice Sharp. I like that color and the engine is very nice. If you are using the Folkart acrylic, I assume you are using an airbrush?

Mike - you ARE the man!! This is freakin awesome!!!
So you dilute that artsy fartsy paint with windshield washer solution? I would have NEVER thought of that. But I am gonna have to experiment with this.
My wife has hundreds, no lie, hundreds of these artsy fartsy paints. Two full rotating racks of these paints. I have been using them on my interiors of late, but to dilute and spray them, that is so cool!

It does a fantastic job of clear coating artsy fartsy paints. Works the best on artsy fartsy paints as a matter of fact.

That dash looks great as well as the base engine coloring and aluminum on the motor. Cool build.

I do airbrush this paint,the airbrush that I use is the paasche ez-starter airbrush, got it from ebay for under 25.00 with shipping and it works great with this paint

I keep looking at this. Slick and clean. Are those kit air cleaners? I have a new Pasche H airbrush I am going to start using. Haven't used an airbrush before. I have a lot of Folkart paint and cool colors. I'm glad to see I can use them with the airbrush.

Thanks Den, yes the air cleaners are from the kit I just added tan paint to the filter part Den you do have to thin this stuff out, I start out with 50%paint with 50% wind shield washer fluid set your air pressure around 20 to 25 psi, start out with light coats and build up the color your gonna love this stuff when you get a hang of it!
