Re: Bugati T50.... with a difference.
Yup, Gently Bentley is the way to go, Ive used it loads of times without any issues, apply the fluid to the cloth not the surface.
John's method could be utilised with a putty rubber that artists use, the linseed oil would penetrant the adhesive.
Also simple petroleum jelly could work, even vegetable oil at a push.

Thanks to both of you.
I'll try your trick tomorrow Colin. OK to use cotton buds?

Yup cotton buds work well, I just have a supply of soft cotton linen at hand which is why I mentioned a cloth.
I edited my post above with extra info during your last post FYI.

Looks great in Blue and White. 50% rubbing alcohol will remove the residue and not hurt the paint. 90 % or 100 % will hurt the paint so be careful what you buy. I get mine at the local "Dollar Store".

Re: Bugati T50.... with a difference.
Thanks for the heads up Buck.
Well the lighter fuel worked up to a point but no amount of fuel/rubbing would get it all off.
So Bozo here, decided to mask off the blue and respray the white. Hah!! Laid down the Tamiya masking tape along the separation line and made the cut with a new blade. However, when I removed the tape from the white, it pulled away down to the plastic!!
It's weird as I don't recall this ever happening before. It seems like the primer is not adhereing to the plastic properly!!!
So now it's stripped, ready to try again!!

Re: Bugati T50.... with a difference.
The real deal engine is very shiney with a lot of polished alluminium and circle polished alluminium. So I sprayed the engine gloss black then with Alclad II Polished Alluminium. Not so sure about it now.
I addition to the body problems, my .3mm airbrush has packed up and needs replacing and BOTH moisture traps have also packed up!!!! Oh boy!!! LOL

Re: Bugati T50.... with a difference.
I think that engine looks really good.
Weird that the fluid didn't get the adhesive off, I've had no issues at all right from masking tape to insulating tape residue
I thought I'd been useful there for a minute... lol. .

The engine looks great Al. Keep it up. I really want to see a detailed engine here because I'm going to use your work to copy for my rat rod.

You need new glasses John..... it's the AIRBRUSH not the compressor that's packed up.

Al: Nothing wrong with my eyes, but why not make sure you don't plug up another airbrush?? Likewise no more need for water traps.

Re: Bugati T50.... with a difference.
I agree with John. It is time to switch to CO2. I did at the first of the year, and love it. Would not go back to a compressor every again!
It is quiet, moisture issues are gone, very precise pressure control, and very inexpensive after buying the bottle and regulator gauges.

Hi Al,
Why are you not sure about the engine, I think it looks pretty rocking here...

Re: Bugati T50.... with a difference.
Thanks guys.
I'm not big on 'bling' is why Colin but then again the real deal has plenty of it!! LOL.
I wired the engine tonight. Not my neatest ever job but It's going to have to do.
John, this is as far as the detail is going on this one. I'll do a detailed engine when I build the same kit as the stock car. Assuming I can find one that is, they've been a bit scarce on eBay lately.

A little wiring sure livens things up.

Yellow wiring goes well with the blue body.

Hi Mr Al,
When you use the Alclad paint, can you spray it indoors like the acrylic paint, as in does it smell, do you have to use a mask etc...

Re: Bugati T50.... with a difference.
What do you mean by 'packed up" concerning your air brush, Skid?
I have a small bottle of Spray gun & paint mixing equipment lube (by DeVibiss) That I have had for years. I only use it to dip the needle tip in after cleaning, so it's lasted quite a while. Plus, I back the needle off the nozzle until the next use.
Masking for an edge needs pretty good adhesion, but when I need lower tack for general use, pressing the sticky side of tape to your shirt, or similar cloth, will block off some of the glue by leaving small traces of fiber on it.
Engine and paint lookin good!

Missed this WIP as I was at Bathurst (don't ask!) Fantastic job thus far, nice to see some more unusual subjects covered.

Andy.... treat it just like any other acrylic paint. I use a home made paint booth for all my spraying but I also know someone who sprays Alclad indoors without one. As always, best to wear a mask.
Alclad is not exactly cheap at around £5.00 per bottle so it's best to use a .3mm nozzle and you do need to turn down the actual spraying pressure to about 12lb psi. Also only just open up the needle or set the needle stop, so it's spraying a minimum amount of paint. This not only saves on wasted paint but also gives the best shine/finish. Lastly, when spraying Alclad, keep the part and nozzle at an acute (low) angle. This, this allows the metal particles to stand up and give's a better shine, or so I have read. It does appear to work however.Geezerman wrote:What do you mean by 'packed up" concerning your air brush, Skid?

Clay.... Sorry, I should have expanded. The AB concerned is just a cheapie generic item which I use soley for spraying Alclad. The little rubber grommet in the airvalve snapped and experience has taught me, getting replacements for generic AB's is nigh on impossible and not worth the hassle.
OK guys I got my problems sorted at the fourth attempt.
The primer was peeling not because of the masking tape but because bozo here, picked up a brand new can of 'metal' primer instead of plastic primer. As soo as I sprayed with the plastic stuff, all was well again. As for the tape residue, this time I used Tamiya tape all over instead of just for the separation lines. So no residue.
I also re-finished the wheels in Alclad Polished Alluminium.
Clear gloss coat next.
