Description
Welcome to the new Diecast Resurrection lab! Before getting back into regular restorations, I wanted to show you around the new setup and solve one fairly important problem: how am I going to paint Redlines without my old solvent-based urethanes?
I zinc plated and polished two test castings, then experimented with Createx Candy2.o, UVLS High Gloss and a transparent direct-to-metal system to see if we could reproduce that classic Spectraflame look entirely with water-based products.
There was some experimenting along the way, but by the final coats the little Camaro had the deep, glossy finish I was looking for. I think we've got ourselves a new Redline paint system.
