SamBred Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Got my 3rd build on the bench. I'm a mopar man but this kit was a gift so I figured it get it going. Not to many pieces with this kit. It's my first time putting on decals and I'm nervous to put the rest on, I think I'm gonna leave them off and clear coat it in the next few days. I have had a problem out of the hood. I have primered and painted the body and hood at same time but in seperate pieces and the hood is totally different color! I don't know why. I'm very busy in the spring and summer so it's gonna be fun this winter to get lots of bench time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mod3l Lover Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Being a big Mustang fan, I can honestlysay that I will watch your build. The motor looks like a nice clean build.And red looks good on those early Stangs!If you are sticking with red!?! David S.

THarrison351 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I usually prime and paint the hood, same color parts, and body at the same time and have them mounted on a board so I don't apply more coats to a single part. Every now an then you can get a reaction with the plastic and things go bad. I can't see your picture to well but it looks like the paint on the hood fogged from humidity or reacted with the plastic.

SamBred Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 Yeah something happened to the hood it's lighter color like it faded oh well like I'd said I'm gonna clear it and let it go then on with the next build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamBred Posted September 27, 2016 Author Share Posted September 27, 2016 UPDATE well not really....haven't had any bench time but I decided to do some body work on the hood. It didn't fit well. I wasn't happy with 2 decals I put down the side of car so they came off and well it's going back in the paint booth. Gonna try and get everything matching haha. Body hood bumpers everything done again. Wish me luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
