CaptainAhab Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Box Stock except for the wheel covers. Sniped them out of the AMT Mercury Kit. Lowered the Suspension a little bit and Painted it Hoduras Maroon. Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geetee66 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Let me be the first to say how nice this build is. The paint is very good. You got a real nice shine on it with no 'peel! Super-clean and tastefully done. I'd gladly have this in 1:1! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie8575 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Color looks good on it, I might've added some kind of contrast, though, to break it up a little. Nice build quality overall. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainAhab Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 Thanks Everybody! The kind words mean alot to me Beauty paint on that!! Do you wet sand and polish? Wax,.. creme polish? Nicely done Yes, it was wet sanded threw all the usual grades I then hit it with a cleaner wax, novus 2 and 1, and then a little meguires mist and wipe when it was all assembled to removed finger prints/ dust etc etc. Thank you Dr Cranky for the polishing tips by the way. Very pleased with the results ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
