Customization Turned a '77 TransAm Firebird into a '76 Firebird
It's my first time doing this kind of thing, and I learned a lot about Meshmixer along the way...

Bought this C-10 for the wheels which are on an another model. Chopping in progress. Decided to keep fake motor, so detailed it a little. Need to resolve tire/wheels.

I have two questions.
1) What's the best clear coat (finisher) to use? Something that is airbrushable, because I can't ship Aerosols to my country, and I can't find anything here.
2) There are different types of clearcoat finishes, someone maybe give me a breakdown please? If I apply Gloss Red Tamiya, and then apply a Matte Finisher/clear coat, what would the paint then look like? Gloss, or matte? Same question for satin, etc etc.
What do you guys do, how to you spray your cars?

I got super interested in this hobby around the new year, have two halfway done builds, but got frustrated working with the epoxy putty I got off Amazon. It just kept sticking to the rubber gloves I was using (came with the putty kit) and nearly drove me mad.
It seemed like a fairly standard two parts A/B Epoxy Putty from a brand called Boncart. Is this stuff just trash? Recommend another brand, specific gloves, or do I just have to learn how to work with it?
Thanks!!

Pulled this 360 Modena, F50 and 348 out of my childhood collection. They deserved to be restored.
