Thank you everyone! I have some great info to work with now. Exactly what I needed. I will post some pictures as soon as I get it done......gonna be a little while, but the work has begun!
-
Thank you Art, very cool, and very good information!
-
Great work!! Thank you very much. I'm going to try it out, I just want to make it look original!
-
I'll try that! Not sure why I didn't think of that.... Thank you!

I may have stated my questions incorrectly! I am not necessarily looking for which paint to use (although that is helpful) I am wondering which brushes to use to get clean lines, and if it is possible that there is an easier way (like a fine tip paint pen) to get the correct lines and letters? I am not a sign painter, or pinstriper, but I can draw, just not sure what tool to use?
-
Any chance you could find out what kind of brushes or other items he uses or recommends to? I can do the lettering etc. I just don't know what to use to apply it, or if there is such a thing as markers or paint pens that are fine enough and user friendly enough to do it?
-
That's what I want to avoid! I have plenty of "vinyl guys". I would like to paint it on instead, just to make it more realistic.

I am wondering what others are using to letter their race cars, (fine tip markers, paint brushes, etc.) I am building a couple of 1960's short track cars, and really want to paint the numbers and sponsors on it like the real cars were (before vinyl) Any suggestions?

To wet sand or not

I have a similar question, which grit sandpaper should I use to wet sand the color before I clear coat? -

Slowly in the process of organizing a work room, and building things to help consolidate the mess! Here's where I am so far, still lots more to do! -
Thanks everyone! Yes, it is a bold color, but it looks so nice on those body lines! I posted my paint problem in the model building questions and answers. I started with the wrong paint and didn't realize it (Napoleonic Violet is a flat paint) so now I am trying to get it repainted, cleared and floor polished to get a decent shine! More to come soon!

Here are a few pics of my current build......if I could ever get the paint to turn out the way I want, it might get finished!
-
Very impressive so far! I love Galaxies, My kid sister currently has a 65 500XL, white with a 352. Can't wait to see this one complete! Keep up the great work.
-
Very nice! I like the color, can't wait to see it on the body!
