jeba Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I think I remember an article in one of the model magazines about painting the tri-color interior of the '62 Pontiac. I'm sure I have that magazine but it would take me a week or two to find it and I would probably be distracted by another article along the way. Could anyone point me to which magazine and which issue had this article, ( if I'm not making it up in my head). THA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Chernecki Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Are you thinking of Marcos Cruz's buildup of his '62 Catalina. He did cover how he painted the interior in the thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my66s55 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) I remember seeing that article and if memory serves me right, it was done by Bob Downie, aka zoom zoom on this forum. Edited August 23, 2016 by my66s55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenGuthmiller Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Nothing really magical about it. Just lots of masking tape. Start with the lightest color & work your way to the darkest. Steve 1959 Bonneville. 1961 Bonneville You can do some pretty nice stuff with a little time masking. This is from a '61 Buick that I built.

High octane Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Wow, you must have used a lot of tape, and had a lot of patience. Beautiful work on those interiors and your models are always pleasing to the eye as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeba Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 Thanks for the replies. The work you guys posted is great. I was also trying to do Beswik's car and that's why I was looking for that article. I thought I rembered he said what colors he used. Thanks again for your replies.
