hey

does any model companies make 1964 chev impala other than revell and is it all right to spray paint it with a compressorized can as i do not have a airbrush?


cheers

Hi Matt

I'm quite sure AMT makes a '64 Impala.

"Copress-a-rized can" is that the same as an ordinary spraycan?
If you paint with a spraycan, it will be a good idea to prime the model first, as some of the spraycan paints can be very hard on the plastic. You don't want your Impala to melt.

Yes, your car can melt a little, its happened to me before, I'd recommend priming it with a flat grey then spraypainting it the color of your choice. Make sure to do this outdoors or someplace with plenty of ventilation

would i use plastic primer

As far as priming car kit's goes, I used motip automotive acrylic gray primer for some time. It protected the plastic well against top coats of a variety of automotive acrylic colours.

not quite sure what that is, but the testors can i described is made for plastic models.

Generally, unless you spray the color very close to the model, which would create a very thick, dripping layer, the plastic won't soften. I used spray paint on all my car models and have used primer on most of them, but it isn't required in my opinion. The primer that I used was just regular auto primer that can be found in any auto parts store.
