I still have enough left for a couple models, then I'll see what will be next. Need to get back on topic I guess. LOL. I also use floor polish for my clear coat, but I'm using the new name stuff. I apply it with a sponge brush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got most of the chassis finished, but still struggling a little with the rear shocks And got some color on the body I am going with a white interior, so I masked the headliner the best I could I did get some minimal overspray, but nothing I can’t fix easy enough comments welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLHCAHZ Posted November 27, 2021 Author Share Posted November 27, 2021 So I worked my wrinkled sheet of BMF. This stuff can really humble ya! I am going with show and go with this kit, I was not confident in my abilities to foil the window trim. Looking back I should have scribed the lined to make it easier Then I airbrushed a couple coats of future to seal it all up and give it some shine I always seem to notice all the bad spots only after I clear it. This will wax up nicely. Not perfect, but I am happy with the results. Comments welcomed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David G. Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Excellent work on this one Chaz. I love the color and the chrome treatment you did really sets it apart. It looks like this is a pretty quick build. I have one in my stash I've been itching to get to but I currently have too many projects going on. David G.
