ssroczyn Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I found this 67 Chevelle at a Garage Sale. It was painted metallic purple from a spray can and the engine was painted some kind of florescent orange. Luckily what was put together I was able to take apart and clean the paint off. Thank you Easy Off oven cleaner! My Likes about this build is I love the paint, and decals. I think everything went together in that respect. My Wishes about this build is that I wish I could have done the front grill better. I tried a few things but I couldn't get it to look the way I wanted. Enjoy and all comments are most welcome!

ssroczyn Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 Thanks for looking! I really did enjoy putting this one together, considering what it looked like when I got it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'70 Grande Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Really looks good! How did you achieve that finish on the Black paint; is that a straight from the can Black paint color or does it have a coating of some kind? ( I ask cuz I wanna replicate that color on an in-progress build of mine)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssroczyn Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 Hi Mark, that paint is Model Masters Black Metallic over Testor's Gloss Black. I got very comfortable over the years using Testors Paints. If you're going to buy some, better do it quick as I think most of or maybe all of the Model Master enamels are going away. I hope not though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope not though! I think the way the light catches the Metallic in the Black it gives it a flatter finished look. I'm looking at your grill that you mentioned. The Grills appearance might be improved with a little black wash to represent the openings in the grill work, but beyond that the way you saved this is great and I like the way you finished it as a box art. Very cleanly built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koellefornia Kid Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Nice box art build! I like the flame decals and the wheels, I think I will have to get one those kits... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemodeler Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I'm with Espo, a light wash of black would give that grille the depth I think you were looking for. Nice restoration ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
