severin681 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 (edited) So the last thing I was working on 10 years ago before I had to put away my hobby was this, a 1969 Z28 Camaro. I was doing it for a friend of mine who really likes this car. Well, until he got his awesome job and now drives a 2005 Corvette. (Sigh). I had originally did most of the work for this. The only thing I needed was the body paint. Well I had screwed that up royally. I ended up sanding the car down and loosing some of the details. I bought the Camaro detail set from Model Car Garage, so no harm no foul there. But, when I did the interior paint originally I had zero space to spray paint as I lived in San Francisco in an apartment. I had tried using an acrylic spray that was non toxic. It worked great. The color came out smooth and it dried quickly to be handled. Unfortunately it also remained ever so slightly tacky, so it collected amazing amounts of dust and lint. I had put ALL the detail into the interior, the dash, the console, the gear box, etc...Well I found it and took it out. I quickly dismantled the whole thing and only managed to break one part that's easily fixable. So after cleaning off the old paint, I have started the process to get it all reworked. I have slightly changed my plan for the interior colors, and managed to reshoot the body paint, and I am not unhappy with it. Oh, and one more thing, I really wanted to stick a Viper engine in it. So enough talk, the build! If you look real close at the fan shroud piece, you can see where I broke it. I don't even think it was attached, I think I just broke it painting it. The concept! I am going to try and mask the center seat parts, and do the spray glue technique for a 'vinyl look'. Then spray the outer part of the seat black. It's nothing ground breaking, but it will be the second one I'll be completing after my extended break. Thanks for looking.

severin681 Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 Small update. Its been raining and cold here for the past week so I haven't been able to go outside and spray anything. So I just did some small stuff. Got the center console started with my detail piece for model car garage. I haven't worked with bare metal foil in a while and then I had the kids running around shaking the table I've been working on so my detailing on my doors is terrible. I think I might have to redo them at night when they are in bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if I may suggest, you may want to refine the edges of the tape on the seats before doing any spraying. The car is looking good though.
