Cobra Motor Motor Set

Cobra Motor Motor Set, paints for the engine part

A paint set from the Cobra Motor range by AMMO of Mig Jimenez. The whole range is built for car and motorcycle models, and the individual shades in it are named after real finishes, teams and materials. According to its name this set is put together for the engine and its surroundings, that is for the part of a model where the most different surfaces meet at once on a small area.

Where it is useful

• the engine block, the head and the gearbox
• brackets, mounts and lines under the hood
• different surfaces side by side: smooth paint, rough casting, plastic, textile
• the engine part of open models, where the machinery is not hidden

How to work with the set

The engine is the place where a model wins or loses on contrast. It pays to work out in advance which parts will stay deep flat and which are to reflect light, and only then to reach for the paint. Go from large areas to small details and let each stage dry thoroughly, so that you do not mark a fresh coat while masking the neighboring part. Mix the contents before work. Details of the binder and of thinning you will find on the manufacturer's packaging; go by them above all when you are going to combine the paints with another brand.

Who the set is for

For modelers who build cars and motorcycles with exposed machinery and want the shades that belong to the engine part together in one place instead of assembling a palette from random bottles.

Work in a well ventilated space and keep the packaging out of the reach of children.
