well here is the finished PRACTICE paint job. I think did ok for my 1st attempt at painting 3 different colors!
I should of did some sanding between coats but the primer I used sucked also but I'm going up to specialist paints tomorrow get good primers.
so maybe Monday or Tuesday ill start painting the cab and fuel tank!! I might lose the orange pin stripe... I don't know.

HERES ARE SOME FINISHED Z1 PRACTICE PICS....

thanks chris, I had it set at around 35 psi but I don't have a another regulator at the gun. in my research that is one major item that is recommended.

thanks billy...
I might change the intake design a little and shorten the length a bit but once I get it right I might make a few extra ones.

lol...finally... yes I got started painting BUT ran into a hugh problem with the primer builder application!! For some reason the 4-1 primer activator mixture kept guming up so I had to stop until I talk to the supplier!! I did get the tractor frame base coat finished though.... mid-coat will be painted tomorrow!

PICS...

This is looking amazing, I might have missed it, but where did you get your plastic for your trailer roof, walls and floor Panels?

"This is one of my favorite large cars next to mine of course big sexy. Lol. TONY"

The main difference between a "Big Truck" and a "Large Car" is; a Big Truck does what it can, and a Large Car does what it wants.
