EFX X Wing repaint

[REL]

Shouls I use my laquer based white primer for the top coat. Or pick up one of their flat or gloss white finishes?
(getting ready to try my hand at my Salzo paint job!)

Thanks,

Evan

In my experience the lacquer primers go on the smoothest. I used the white sandable primer as the top coat for this project. I don't know if that's how the originals were done, but to my eye it looks like a perfect match to the base color of the studio models.





Just need to do the R2.

Great Job Rich, beautiful paintwork. Its a MASSIVE leap over what some hack sprayed on her in the factory......but, that Hasbro canopy still goes along way to hurt my eyes.

It does look great, but what is the deal with the EFX cockpit? It does have a Hasbro look.

That looks fantastic man, the weathering looks just right.

This paint job is absolutely fabulous. It's accurate and really brings out the details on the efx. Plus, you completed it in record time. wow! :thumbsup

Man that's purdy.

 

[Shadowknight]

That tuned out great.

 

[Scott Graham]

Sweet job. Punchy AND subtle at the same time.
Now I want to repaint mine!

 

[BrundelFly]

That's utter Crap!

What a Hack!!

You need to send it to me so I can Re-Paint it right now.

That's one sexy beast

Sorry, late to the party.

I have one of these. The factory paint job doesn't bother me but what does bother me is that when the room is completely dark, you can see the glow of the interior lighting escaping through the seams on the side. Did your repaint fix that?

In the words of Wayne and Garth...SHWING!

Great job REL. I'd love to do the same to mine but my skill level isn't good enough yet for me to feel confident enough yet
