JTRACING Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 wheels and tires. they came molded orange not chrome plated... so i had to use BMF to make the outer edges chrome and I painted the centers black. re-scribed all the panel lines. basic engine stuck together I went with a metallic brown for the color Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVZ2881 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 great job, especially on the wheels and engine!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruz Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 You did great work bro, I will be following this one closely! The idea of the rims not being chrome is actually a good one, at least for me. I would much rather Alclad the rims than use BMF but again, that's me, you made it look very good. That color is also gorgeous, nice choice!!!

87 Grand Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Man that is just one beautiful color. It just looks period correct. Great job on the wheels. It looks like all of your polishing paid off. I love the Tamiya compounds, they work great. Oh yeah your engine is fantastic. Great job so far. Please keep us posted.

Modlbldr Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 That is looking great and the color does look period correct. Can you PM me a few tips on using the Tamiya compound. I bought a tube of the FINISH compound a while back but haven't tried it as of yet because, without instructions, I don't want to mess up a good paint job. It looks like you have it down and could lead me in the right direction. Thanks. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Later- its easy to use, I like to wet sand everything with 2000 grit, wipe it dry as you go and just sand until its perfectly even. then just rub the polish on until you hear it squeak lol. i use scratch X as a final polish also.

Alyn Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Wow, what's not to like on this car. Your wheel treatment, engine detail, paint. Every aspect of this build is looking top notch. I'll never forget a similar 70's root beer colored Z-28 I had to paint match in my younger days. That color is a real bear. Your paint is a good rendition of the one I remember. Hope the interior is on the way. Can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragline Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 (edited) This is truly beautiful... I'm totally stealing the color and wheel ideas for the one I just bought. Your work is so clean and realistic. BMF work is top notch. Root Beer brown with envy...

Marc @ MPC Motorsports Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Killer Camaro!!! And who said that these kits molded in colored styrene can't be built by pros? Is that metallic brown a factory color? I'm curious what paint you used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTRACING Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 did a bit of interior painting Killer Camaro!!! And who said that these kits molded in colored styrene can't be built by pros? Is that metallic brown a factory color? I'm curious what paint you used. its GM dark brown. in the duplicolor spray cans. not sure if was around in 1970 but fits the era i think.
