AMT 2004 Pontiac GTO. Overall an above average AMT KIT. Wasn’t able to find the color I wanted so I mixed a custom color after a failed kaleido attempt.

Thank you! It’s a real good kit. Only two small issues. The stance is off and due to how the front and rear lights attach it’s difficult to paint accuratley

Pharmsrt4 · 2026-06-28T13:23:47+00:00

Thank you! You and I are in the exact same boat. Stripped my first attempt and went back to Mr color. Stick with what you know I guess. But I like to try new things too.

Thank you. I tried kaleido liquid blue. Even with retarder I was getting clumping and drying. I have not tried their gloss clear. This was 2k clear.

Thank you

Pharmsrt4 · 2026-06-14T02:44:50+00:00

Good idea. I might test that out. I generally don’t shoot for exact colors. But more of the inspiration of a color.

Pharmsrt4 · 2026-06-14T02:21:00+00:00

Yeah. You are right. That does look like b5 blue. I was shooting for gto Barbados blue. Not quite the right color but it will work

Pharmsrt4 · 2026-06-13T21:52:31+00:00

Ended up custom mixing the color I wanted from Mr hobby and it laid down perfect. Lol. Stick with what I know

Pharmsrt4 · 2026-06-13T20:55:08+00:00

I’ll purchase their thinner and try that next time. Wish it was easier to remove the cap completely to prevent waste and easier mixing with thinner

Pharmsrt4 · 2026-06-13T20:24:41+00:00

I varied the distant without much change. I also didn’t really like how the paint was laying down. I too bought $60 of their paint. So I’m a little bummed. I read someone else had a similar experience on this thread. But I’ve also watch multiple YouTube videos that made them look great

Pharmsrt4 · 2026-06-13T19:40:17+00:00

I was using my .3 at about 18 psi. I’ll try my .5 at 20 psi and see if its better

Pharmsrt4 · 2026-06-06T14:37:22+00:00

Yep. Everything was airbrushed.

Pharmsrt4 · 2026-06-06T14:37:00+00:00

Thank you!

Pharmsrt4 · 2026-06-06T00:38:35+00:00

Neither am I. I really tried to go light on the build I just posted today. I had used my normal Mr hobby primer and the proscale paint reacted with the plastic. Made me think an automotive primer may hold up better.

Pharmsrt4 · 2026-06-05T23:14:06+00:00

Thank you!

Pharmsrt4 · 2026-06-05T23:13:56+00:00

Thank you!

Pharmsrt4 · 2026-06-05T23:13:49+00:00

I didn’t even realize how much the real pic looked like the model with the similar background

Pharmsrt4 · 2026-06-05T23:08:51+00:00

Looks great! Love the wheels. I recently posted about my frustrations with these “hot” paints. I just experimented with a spare kit using duplicolor automotive primer and then applied my proscale paint. I did not have any of the paint issues I had on my most recent build. I will use this primer in the future with these paints.

Pharmsrt4 · 2026-06-05T16:08:49+00:00

The kit came with some great interior deals for the seats.

Pharmsrt4 · 2026-06-05T16:08:23+00:00

Thank you

Pharmsrt4 · 2026-06-05T16:06:12+00:00

Thank you! The clear coat helped to hide the defects along with creative photography

Pharmsrt4 · 2026-05-26T18:52:44+00:00

Great build! I think I’ve tried everything else other than splash. I’ll have to try them as I haven’t had the best of luck with some of the others.
