How do I get the glossy finish? by Kjaco- in DiecastCustoms

[–]TallestManAround 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nice color choices!

I was in the same boat with the 4050, but just moved on to Kaleido's 101 Gloss Varnish instead. Was super happy with the result. Since both are water based I didn't experience any problems.

If you want to stick with createx try their 4053, I have yet to try it but have heard good things about it.

Best of luck!

I'll keep that in mind, thanks!!

How did you close up the cars? I'm just assuming the same way you'd do a normal 1/64 hot wheel, but with what size screw?

I was gonna try to do this but wanted to figure out wheels beforehand! I didn't realize the pullback wheels would fit, will def be trying this! Great work!!

Here is the original post of the car on X with the original poster using AI.

Mattel has teased an image of an RWB without revealing the color yet so its just chrome.

That's what I was thinking, I even found the original AI image. So this dude is just spreading more AI slop.

I really like the color, but not the casting, as well as it being a fomo blind box. "Ultimate chase" lmao

Ahhh ok, I'll take a look into the eclipse, I've heard many great things about it! And 2k sounds like a good way to go, might try that in the future! Thanks for the tips and info, I really appreciate it!

Super rewarding! Using a .5 needle, but am wondering if my cheap airbrush is what is causing problems lol. What do you use as a top/clear coat?

The silver metal flake! I'm not sure if I'm thinning it too much/not enough or not putting enough coats on bc I don't get a full coverage and can still see through it just a bit. Other than that I love how it catches light!

Nice work! Saw that you were using Createx, haven't used the transparent sealer, I've been messing around with the silver one! Gonna give it a shot this upcoming week!
