John Teresi Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 Hello........thank you all so very much for your kind comments.......I asked my friend Eric "TRUESCALE": a full blown custom car painter advice on the colors for this paint job..........I finished the body work and shot the H.O.K. white base coat.......then I shot the H.O.K. snow white pearl.......then I mixed a custom "Cotton Candy" color using H.O.K. snow white pearl with a few drops of H.O.K. Kandy pink and a few drops of Dupont pink........then I fogged the body with H.O.K Kandy pink........I will do the flames in a couple of days after the paint cures.......thanks for looking.

John Keep on Keeping On, You DA MAN !! Hi Michael.......This build is 1/24 scale and is all plastic.......it does not weigh much.......thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyn Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Man oh Man, if I ever wanted to paint something pink, this would be the color. Your painting skills are overshadowed by the details, but they are every bit the equal. The color could not have turned out nicer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominik Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 (edited) Amazing....(after i read all the blabla-pages about valvecovers and personal stuff that doesn't matter ) your bodywork looks so easy, when you post your progress...just amazing and i'm speechless as always, watch your progress. And now i wait till you do the "flamejob". Perhaps, you can show a little step-by-step pictures, how you handle it? BTW: i am a big fan of your work and always read your builts. Your skills are amazing...go on John! Edited March 10, 2013 by Dominik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
