      For the best metal finish you will have to use a smooth glossy black base. With a non-glossy base the final finish won’t be as smooth and reflective.

    Has the naming of TS-86 changed? It's called Brilliant Red on their paint chip banner currently. I'm restoring my OG clod and I never liked the dark TS-8 color. It was too dark for what C/K trucks came in originally and was never the right fit for the Clod to me. Brilliant Red looks like original Crimson/Cardinal red where Bright Red looks like original Hugger Orange. Either would be better choice, just trying to verify 86 has changed in chemistry.

    Nice, another NSX transkit I was looking at was the Scale Stars Advance Flatout bodykit for the Tamiya NSX. Often with many of these transkits each different bodykit or part is from a different and separate model detailing and transkit company with many different companies for different parts. So far from all the model car transkit/detailing companies in terms of fit and quality ZoomOn definitely is one of the ones at the top followed by Alpha Model/Hobby Design.

    Hey Weekend Hobbyist, thanks for this video! Good stuff! I'm mostly chiming in because I had the same exact experience with the Gunmetal from Alclad II Lacquers. I followed the instructions by using the 'Black Primer & Microfiller' as a base coat (non Gloss black, as per instructions). The Gunmetal just looked like more of the black, but a smooth finish, I thought something was off with the paint in the bottle. I actually fixed it by going right over it with a Gundam Gunmetal Marker from their Metallic set. I used the 'Gundam Airbrush System' to apply it. It saved the day! I can't figure out why the metallic flakes don't shine through properly in that Alcad Gun Metal. I can honestly say I will never use that particular Alclad paint ever again for gun metal. I might experiment over a shinier metal base paint, I noticed it has this translucent pen ink purple hue to it.
