Volvo FH12 Flatbed

A tip when using rattle cans. clear the tip by holding the can up side down and giving it a quick spray before and after spraying your project.

Thanks Roundabout! Cool stuff!

Well, I have been painting for a week, and every time I get close, I pool the paint, and it drips. I've used 4 cans so far, and have jack #$%& to show for it.

The bumper is ready for clear, the roof needs another coat, and the cab needs sanded again!

I'll let you know how it goes...

Well, I did manage to fix a little and hit it with more, but it's far from finished.

Looks like more paint...





Let me know what you think, at least it has new paint!

And thanks Riley, I read this but forgot to reply, my painting has improved!

Thanks Stu, it really did help!

Well, I went to do touch ups, and wiped a little drip, which wiped off half the paint on the side of the roof...

Painting is turning out to be the hardest part of this build! Not to mention I'm on my sixth can! For the $50 it's cost me for paint, I could have had it done professionally!

I swear, a few more empty cans, and I'll just hit this thing with Rustoleum!

Anyway, for clear coat, which Tamiya TS- spray paint is the best?

Thanks for lookin'!
