Originally I posted this topic about two odd plastic bodied cars from Majorette found at a rummage sale.

I was going to de-tampo the Ford Escort, but it didn't work out.

Red enamel and black enamel paint and basic detailing did the trick instead.

Again, I'm a very impatient person, so it was a quick overnight job with obvious results for lacking quality but I'm still pleased.

Funny thing, when I was younger I used to hate having red cars.

...Just because I couldn't make the rear lights show up when they were detailed.

...But red is my favorite colour, so being old enough to properly paint and detail, red is not an objection!

Awesome job! I think it came out great.

I'm the same way. Very little patience if it's gonna take to long to finish. I don't have a lot of time to spend on doing a custom, so the easier and quicker way works for me as long as I'm happy with the end results.

I have zero patience either, but I've also learned that haste indeed makes waste. So, nowadays, the paint I use dries in ten minutes at most, no matter what. I use Testor's silver, usually as an undercoat, but also as a finish, and that is dry to the touch in two minutes. The clear coat I use (very inexpensive at Walmart) is dry to the touch in less than ten. I can have a car done in a very short time if need be, if I'm not changing anything else.
