What type of glue did you use for the side skirts and bumpers?
@KitBuilderChris
@KitBuilderChris 26 күн бұрын
I used some super glue for attaching the body parts. I tend to always use super glue attaching most body parts as using cement would melt the painted areas

Hi the paint you use can be used straight from the bottle or do you after thin it down
@KitBuilderChris
@KitBuilderChris Ай бұрын
Hi 👋🏻 ☺️ so the Mr surfacer is best to thin down with some levelling thinners, I use a 50/50 ratio roughly. The proscale paints come pre thinned 👍🏻☺️

Did u do any sanding of the front rubber strip? I notice u didn’t paint it in. I have messed up the lines from scribing now I’m debating if I should put putty and completely remove it ( the black rubber strip between front bumper and hood

Hi, what brand of paint for the Midnight Purple III did you use on the R34 Please? Thanks for any info
@KitBuilderChris
@KitBuilderChris 2 ай бұрын
Hey 👋🏻 so here's a fun fact, it's not actually midnight purple. It's a paint from SMS paints, a colour called 'black hole' from their colour shift extreme range. Looked nice in the bottle, wanted to use it on the R34, couldn't believe just how similar it is to midnight purple. And much much cheaper too 😅

So theres a few options, if you're in the states, purple power is something I've seen a few use. I'd you're in the UK, Dettol antiseptic (brown liquid) works fine. Also brake fluid, I think dot3??
