VW Dave Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Great work! I've started a very similar color combo on my '50 Olds too; for the roof, I'm using a non-metallic color from Testors' lacquer line: Phonecian yellow(pretty sure it's a Ford color).

ToyLvr Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Nice one! When you mentioned "Root Beer" for the color, that caught my eye. I have a car body that I painted with the Testors "Root Beer" lacquer. For the contrasting color, I chose Model Master #2909 "Light Ivory"..... Just a thought.....

Gluhead Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 'Preciate it. I had to strip the first run at the color due to dirt I missed in the paint cup. Re-cleaned everything but that, so wouldn't ya know it. That in itself was no big deal...an hour or so with the high test alky on a cloth and it was ready to go...but I apparently missed one little sliver while masking the body off, and some alky wicked down through the mask onto the trunk. . Dunkittydunk a day in the junk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gluhead Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 Thanks. Bill. Got the body all cleaned up and re-shot in primer, and sprayed the roof. I'm gonna let this set up a while before I do the bottom again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LacrosseBoss Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 a shame about the paint job. Can't wait to see the two of them together. This is a great teaser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gluhead Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 Thanks, Matthew. This is a car I've had in my head for a long, long time...it'll get there but the anticipation is getting to me. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gluhead Posted May 3, 2013 Author Share Posted May 3, 2013 No justice done by this pic. The blonde looks fantastic with the brown to the naked eye. I couldn't be more pleased with the combo between them and how the interior colors play off everything. No clear or buffing yet...gonna let it sit a week or so before I touch it.
