after probably 8 months and 4 attempts at getting the red paintwork to match the decal set i decided it wasnt going to happen so i got it as close as i could. Since this is one of my favorite IMSA teams i'm happy I was able to finally complete it but becasue the reds don't match I can't give it more than an 8.5 out of 10

My best finish to date (not counting the Phoenix Racing Spider Audi R8) due to the fact that asking for 1/27 scale from Pattosplace finds the right balance between width of decals and weird scale of the mini-z body itself.
I give this one a 9.5...
I've got one more waiting for clear coat and then it's on to a new batch. I'm super pleased that i was able to take over our downstairs shower stall and make it my paint booth. It really ramps up my production not having to wait for the garage to hit the right temp/humidity.

A couple for a club member....some newish takes on classic McLaren liveries.
Harrods McLaren F1 GTR Longtail
McLaren 12C-GT3 Marlboro
I think I'm pretty much done doing requests....it seems like every time I get them I have some epic failure that drives me wild and forces some unwanted stress. I will still do one off race liveries on white bodies (which I might sell for the right offer) but to alleviate the worry/stress that develops I will produce the ones I want and if someone likes it they can contact me about purchasing it.
Here's one I forgot to put up when I finished it a while back:
Kraft Daytona Lexus SuperGT
Stay tuned for:
3 McLaren
1 Audi R8
1 Ferrari 458 GT2
1 Mazda 787B
1 Porsche 962
2 Honda NSX
1 Lamborghini Murcielago
1 Aston Martin DB9 GT3
2 Mosler MT900
3 F1 (RedBull, Williams and Renault)

Thanks. Ive been using RUSTOLEUM auto clear, which works well to.
I would imagine that some bodies I do would benefit from a tougher clear but the decal ink from Pattos is not compatible with some clear sprays which he describes as being too chemically "hot" for his decals.
That being said I have some bodies coming up that I will paint, clear, decal then final clear. it"ll add to durability and create a smoother surface for decal application....the smoother the better adhesion
