| description | After a long time i did a terrible paintwork on my Izusu. reed here why: i sand the hole body and after i,m finished that i clean the body with washing fuel ( wasbenzine in het nederlands) i woudt use original tamiyapaint color in number ts30 and ts74. i hurd that from a few guys you get then a very nice deep color. for the first spray i use the ts30 and paint the hole body. i let the paint dry for 2 days.
After the two days i paint the ts74 over it.til it dry it looks good,but what happend the next day! the paint was dry but it looks like crackle,that is if the paint is broken. the next day i go to the modellbuild store to show it. i explain how i did it but they have no idea how it happend. i woudt do a new paintjob with the same colors. i buy 2 new spray cans to try it again. stardid the hole procedure from the beginning and at the end the same results!! that was for 2 at 3 months ago.
The project was over for a long time. now in the last 2 weeks i woudnt do it again for the last time. i woudnt use not the original tamiya paint but i woudt go for the paint off motip. thats auto paint color and i use that for some other cars. i hat what more experience with that paint. the paint is looking good now, got only to do some little detail work and than finished this project. this morning go for a little testdrive, after all that stressed work about that paintjob. this truck is compleet original only i use the tires from the Mit Pajero. i hope you like the color as i do, after all that work. and the pics........ just watch and enjoy!

Great pics - very scale looking! Awesome truck!
@Cragus, i paint the grille and the sides from the frontlights in black out a little pot black paint from humbrol in colornumber 21. thank you for your nice comment.
thats lovely, how did you find blacking the grille as i may do mine, this is going into my favs!
I know how you felt, but good you didn't give up. And I must say: I have rarely seen such good sanding... Maybe no wonder because you did that three times but it shows: very smooth deep colour. I really like it. The pics are very cool again too.
Nice pics. Fun looking driving area too.
Many thanks for all your kind comments again, it took my more then 3 month to finish the paintwork on this truck. now i,m very happy with the end results.
Lovely colour. Painting can drive you mad, just dont ever give up and eventually you'll succeed, your car proves my point. Very nice and tidy finish. Great pics too.
Wow...This is beautiful Alfons!!

Wow Alfons you are very patient with painting, I would have probably smashed it to bits in frustration by now, looks great and a nice color, my first MU long ago before I found TC was a similar color

Super job Alfons one to be proud of
