Thanks, this will make Mustang #4, hope you all don't get tired of seeing mustangs. Gonna try for 2 more before end of year.
 
Hey if the mojo is flowing...roll with it.

Looking sharp. I actually need to build a Mustang before the end of January for the annual club build.

Bob, it was a lot of trail and error and head banging against the wall before it got close to what you have seen my last few mustang builds. NMF is some of the hardest to do in my opinion. I really like the results this dry brushing give me.
 
Would you be so kind to do a recap on what you're doing please? This is Model Masters metalizers with the carrier dried out and dry brushed on? What's the base?
 
Thanks Paul :vgood:

Bob, the base is Mr. Finishing Surfacer Black 1500. Spray that on first and let dry. Now use Mr. Metal Color (very similar to the Model Master) and dry brush on after letting the carrier film dry. It may take multiple passes to build up the color and shine intensity you want. I will use a polishing wheel on my dremel and buff various spots to disfuse the pattern.

Now being that the stuff like to constantly rub off, lightly seal it with Mr. Color Super Metallics Aluminum or Super Chrome Silver thinned with Mr. Level thinner. Do not touch it after that and let dry.
