- In this video I am attempting to use cheap acrylic craft paints to see what kind of finish that I can get on an HO or 1:64 scale slot car body. So let's see how it all turns out.

I learned some good things here so Thank you
Here's a successful formula for doing it on the cheap while getting outstanding results. To get the cleanest lines use Frog yellow masking tape. Rattle can Rust-Oleum Automotive primer and regular enamels for colors waterslide decals from JAG Hobbies. quick shine floor polish clear coat. One clear coat prior to decals. five coats after decals. NO clear between primer or multiple color applications.
Great video. I learned a great deal from this video.
That's awesome. I'm so glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching and commenting. Take care and happy modeling....

Crazy I've been wanting to paint HOT WHEELS so thank you for this. GR8FUL SAM
Thank you for watching. And keep an eye out on my channel. I will be painting some hot wheels pretty soon. I'm already practicing taking them apart and stripping the paint.
Hello, I liked your demostration because I am also trying to use craft paint on HO scale slot cars. The mistakes you made has me rethinking on my methods on laying down paints. So, thank you for the video. Great work!!!
I'm glad the information was helpful. I am going to try this again on another slot car body, but I'm going to use createx airbrush paint this time.
It may not be the best looking paint job standing still but I bet it looks awesome racing around the track.
She don't look too bad at all. 😁
Thank you for your information
😊
You are very welcome. Thank you for watching.
Thanks for making and sharing these videos 🎉
And thanks for the strainer link - gonna order one asap...😅
I'm glad my videos help. Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate it very much.
Hello - I too am trying to use craft paints and I'm pretty much getting the same results. I do however have some Acrylicos Vallejo Airbrush Flow Improver ordered and will see if that helps, along with reducing. We'll see. Thanks for the video.
Hey Thomas. Thanks for the info. Please let us know if the flow improver works...
could the tint or the additive in the windshield fluid cause a flash setting before hitting the surface?
I can't 100% say that I know. However I did mix some craft paints with windshield washer fluid and kept it in a bottle for over 2 weeks and it didn't dry it out. So I don't think so.
Nice job sir, do you have link to the normal paints you use as I am just starting. Thank you.
Here is a link to the paints i prefer. They are the wicked line by createx. This a large starter set. No need to buy it, but at least you can see what colors they offer and go from there. And dont forget to buy reducer. Either 4011 or 4012. Take care and thanks for watching. amzn.to/4cMOtxF
Thank you very much!
HO scale is 1:87. 1:64 is S scale.
Hi John. You are correct if we're talking about model railroading. This is a slot car. In the slot car world 1:64 scale is called HO scale. Thank you for keeping an eye out for me. Take care and happy modeling....
