Excellent work! You have motivated me to give it a shot! I'm tired of boring exhaust systems.

[@ScaledDownCustoms]

I'm glad it was helpful.

[@rickgregory9616]

Thank you. I saw another modeler use Tamiya Clear Yellow, Orange, Red & Blue. But I also like your 3-color scheme. I'll give this a try on the weekend! Thanks

what is jar on your right top with the swirling looking pipe in it at 1:52 to 2:14 ? Thanks enjoy the videos Never mind just watched the tools video, got my answer!

[@pizzamanmodels9989]

Thanks for the video. I’m new at this. I’m assuming you let each color dry between coats.

[@ScaledDownCustoms]

Yes, but the Alclad paint dries very fast so by the time I'm read for the next color it is dry enough to paint.

[@pizzamanmodels9989]

@@ScaledDownCustoms thanks for answering. Much appreciated

[@kldendorfer]

What did you use for the black vase coat?

[@ScaledDownCustoms]

The gloss black base coat was also Alclad.

[@michaelhintzmikesminiature1812]

Looks Good!!! How do you decide which colors go where??? I'll be watching

[@ScaledDownCustoms]

I start with the bends as that is usually where the highest heat concentration is on the 1/1.

[@rosemaryr.long-morgan9704]

thanks for sharing. Is there a waterbased metalic brand You would suggest for Acrylics as I don't have an airbrush. Thamks

[@ScaledDownCustoms]

Vallejo paints have been pretty good.

[@seasoda3319]

What is the Hot Metal Violet? And did you coat the whole header with it?

[@ScaledDownCustoms]

That is an Alclad color. I only hit the curves, not the whole header. It is meant highlight or accent the burnt metal look.
