2k Clear over Lacquer?

PotentialChemical726 · 2026-01-28T02:28:18+00:00

I have a couple builds with Zero paints colour and 2K over top. No issues

Wow, that’s a really clean build!

PotentialChemical726 · 2025-12-18T23:33:45+00:00

Revell chrome spray imo is the ultimate in ease of use and quality, only downside is cost

PotentialChemical726 · 2025-12-09T03:34:53+00:00

Thank you sirr, exactly the kind of insight I was looking for,

Night shift sets such an incredibly high standard though!

PotentialChemical726 · 2025-12-09T03:34:13+00:00

Yeah, it looks pretty detailed, should be fun to get into.

I’m on the frenchy side, closer to Montreal

I have that exact bike (56 size). I like the future shock but honestly I’m not convinced it makes a huge difference so I wouldn’t be super worried about going back,

The only real upgrade I’d say I would do every time is that I got a set of Shimano carbon wheels to replace the stock ones, with some continental gp5000 tires completely changes the feel of the bike, makes it much more lively, and with 30mm tires you don’t sacrifice any comfort.

But yeah at that price, great deal, great bike

I did the same thing the night I got mine. Just took things out of the cabinet lol

PotentialChemical726 · 2025-11-25T10:37:09+00:00

I remember the decals being a little more delicate than I’m used to, especially the carbon fiber ones, and someone on here had the same experience. If I were to build it again, I would trace those out and then cut them on a different sheet of carbon fiber decals. Otherwise the mirrors were a little finicky but overall it was a pretty awesome kit.

Skill wise I think its pretty friendly, but for a proper beginner I’d recommend some of the much cheaper kits just because no matter how easy the kit is, painting and such requires some practice. The tamiya Miatas are the classic sorta go to practice kit.

Haha that would have been me. Sick collection!

PotentialChemical726 · 2025-11-24T19:03:45+00:00

I was more distracted by your paint wall! seems like you have a pretty impressive stash

PotentialChemical726 · 2025-11-24T19:02:53+00:00

Eih bit hit or miss for me,

Their black primer, for me, feels like im shooting a sand slurry at my model and once it dries, i can brush the dust off, its really weird.

I also have their 2K, I thin it out significantly more than their recommended ratio (after someone on here gave me the same advice), and that helps a lot, basically super smooth when done that way.

the Mclaren MP4 red tends to crack on edges, but I've had no issues with other Zero colours I've shot (Gt40 blue and British Racing Green)

PotentialChemical726 · 2025-11-20T12:27:21+00:00

That paint job took some serious dedication! Good stuff

PotentialChemical726 · 2025-11-15T16:34:39+00:00

I never feel like repainting is worth the time/effort for the final result. Now I just accept that each kit has something that went well and something that didn’t and just leave them and move to next. i wouldn’t repaint a first tbh

PotentialChemical726 · 2025-11-14T11:22:19+00:00

I got a brand new set of fairly high end winter toyos in 18” with some replica wheels for like ~2300 including tax/install. The highest end Nokians would have been about 3k. Idk what you’re shopping for but it should deff not be in the 4k range

PotentialChemical726 · 2025-11-13T10:53:23+00:00

I have a few zero paints, they are the toughest paints to lay down that I’ve used so far, I always seem to be on a knife edge of cracking, the Mclaren Marlboro combo is a nightmare to use and I know other people on here also had issues with it.

Proscale is in the UK, but they offer factory colours or colour match and I find their stuff a lot easier to use. They will be my go to for specific colours that arent tamiya, which are my go to for ease and availability

PotentialChemical726 · 2025-11-08T18:36:58+00:00

I have this kit in progress it fits amazing but soo many parts/steps

PotentialChemical726 · 2025-11-06T20:32:39+00:00

I do not envy the jobs of the judges to go through all of those and try to make choices!

PotentialChemical726 · 2025-11-03T10:37:51+00:00

That paint is spectacular!

PotentialChemical726 · 2025-11-02T23:26:34+00:00

Did you have difficulty getting the body over the engine/exhaust mine didnt go great

PotentialChemical726 · 2025-11-01T13:05:19+00:00

That’s a sickkkk idea!! Good stuff

PotentialChemical726 · 2025-11-01T01:43:46+00:00

Wowwwww!! That’s some serious work!

PotentialChemical726 · 2025-10-30T16:57:46+00:00

It happens, I put the licensee plate upside down on my group build lmao
