Loophole's custom Sunstreaker and Sideswipe orders

[loophole]

Now that it is the new year its time for me to organise the custom classics of Sunstreaker and Sideswipe paintjobs as was getting discussed in another thread of mine.

So here's the deal i am willing to do 6 of each e.g. 6 Sunstreakers and 6 Sideswipes the people wanting this need to supply the toys to me now cost is going to be $20 + postage back

Now with Sideswipe i know at least 1 person just want him as a solid colour so in the list below if you put your name with the desired paint next to it i.e. solid, metallic finish that way i shall now what you want. With Sunstreaker i was planning on just doing him in the 3 layer pearl Lamborgini Colour.

Now 3 members have already have allready taken an interest in this so i shall put your names down for both SS & SS as i dont know if you guys want both or not so just take your names off the list if you dont.

If theres any questions dont be afraid to ask.

Lol- embarassing - I thought I was running behind with sending it to loophole so I sent it off myself - Sorry I didn't even think of checking with you guys - I just scrambled - thinking that I was slow :b

[Wheel-J]

I was thinking the same as well...:D
My SS's and TDD's will combine shipping tomorrow.
Thanks to TDD for lending me his spare sideswipe. Cheers mate!

[loophole]

i didnt even think of combining postage for you guys but i can combine postage back to include Lcz'. Im such a rookie at this sort of thing :o

[loophole]

Nice paint Loophole.
I've got a question for you. As the yellow is a 2 stage paint do you lay down the bright yellow colour first then the lighter yellow coat? Or the other way round?
I've tested mine and it looks way too light.
edit: I tested it first method described.

[loophole]

Okay i shall try my best to answer, with most 2 stage paints or "3 layers" you have 2 different batches of paint an Underground coat which is usually made of solid colours i.e white, black, yellow this Underground coat is usually used to cover the surface you are painting. Then you also have a Basecoat colour now this basecoat colour is usually more opaque than the Underground paint and the basecoat has the different effects in the paint such as metallics and pearls.

Now when painting these sort of paints you put the underground coat on first to cover the surface as long as its covered it doesnt matter how many coats you put on just as long as its covered.
Now with the basecoat as with the Lambo colour i have used on Sunstreaker it has white, black, yellow and green pearl in the colour and with each coat of this that you put on over the undercoat will change the overall colour so if you only put 2 coats of basecoat(or pearl colour) it will look lighter the more you put on the deeper the colour will look but the more coats you put on the more the colours of the undercoat will show through and change the overall clour again.

But you always wanna put the paint with the effects on top of your other colour because otherwise there would be no point.

So maybe you just needed to more coats on that what you should have.

I hope that helps otherwise just ask me more.

FYI "3 layers" 1st layer - underground coat, 2nd layer - basecoat, 3rd layer - clear.
and then you can get 4 layers :eek:
