Same here. I did use a white primer on the orange sections and gray primer on the rest. Still will take a couple coats of orange. I also thinned it down some.

Great minds think alike. I got some more done. Pantherman

Yes, it takes alot of coats

Looks good to me as I haven't built a truck. Will it be all building the same kit or pick your own? Pantherman

A semi truck has been on my list for a while now.
I have a few builds I need to get out of the way before I do another GB.

I just watched this video of the unboxing of the truck.
Revell level 5.
302 parts
6- trees
Steerable front wheels, removable top to see inside, and opening doors. Real rubber tires too.

Could be a fun build

I've never sprayed with gloss enamels to get that shine. I usually spray my flat color then spray a gloss and/or pledge.
Have yall used a gloss in your airbrush?
