geetee66 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I finally got it done! I'm blown away by the detail the Lowrider guys put into their cars. Some of them are more like jewellery, than cars. I hope to get better at building lowriders and get my paint more precise. I love the chrome and the wild colours and I want to build more of these. I only added a few bits n bobs; Subwoofers, Pegasus Daytons, resin rotors and calipers. But most of the time was spent masking, painting and waiting for it all to dry between the many coats of clear (15, I think). Then a lot of wet sanding and polishing. Paint was from rattle cans, which prompted me to order an airbrush. I realised how much paint I've been wasting, when I looked at my bit of cardboard I use to protect my lawn from the paint.! I think I spent about £50 on paint for this ? Thanks for looking, all comments and criticisms welcome 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeCee Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 VERY nicely done geetee, that tape work is a lot harder than most people think.Great detailing, Some good color choices too, i like the decals? in the blue too, nice touch.Now on to the next one, it is fun stretching the imagination with paint, and once you get your airbrush, a whole new world of painting will unfold.

geetee66 Posted August 29, 2017 Author Share Posted August 29, 2017 Thanks very much, guys! I'm glad you approve. I know these cars aren't to everybody's taste, but I love the excess of them. I saw a bumper sticker on one, which said;"Life's too short to drive a boring car" Kinda sums it up, for me. (I drive a black Audi A3 and I'm running out of time!)I'll try a more elaborate paint job on my next lo-lo (59 Impala), now I have an airbrush ?And I'll make my own line tape. This build taught me a lot ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
