espo Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 The finish looks trashed, and I mean that in a good way. Nice looking wheels and I like the stance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David G. Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Because new wheels are the first step in any restoration project. At least it was when I was in high school. Convincing rust and paint effects, looks great. David G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a 70 Boss 429 I think I do up so the ole Mopar won't be lonely be back soon!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 You certainly captured the worn/ weathered look very well on this one bud. Great work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bisc63 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 (edited) Cool build. You should do a thread in "Tips and Techniques" on how you achieved your finish on this one. It looks very believable. Some areas look blistered, as if it were a car that got too close to a fire. The part I like: it's still a good looking car! You can't hide the lines of a good looking automobile, and this is one of those that always just looks good!

TarheelRick Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Forgive me, but I thought that was a standard MOPAR paint scheme after a couple of years - said the FORD worshipper. Really good-looking work, very well executed weathering job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ea0863 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 "Super detailing blues" - - - I love it, and I totally get it. I've spent one week on BMF alone and have gone decidedly cross-eyed in the process I think I'll make my next build a fun beater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the short version goes a bit like this, spray on the colors you want, the Bee has grey primer followed by met. silver followed by white primer then black top coat, let dry. Then spray on very lightly Easy Off, let this sit till it has dried to the max, then wash it off with the garden hose with some pressure, this is what caused the blistering you see. When its dried just pick and prod at it ! I then use artist oils and chalk to add rust and other details. 9 hours ago, ea0863 said: "Super detailing blues" - - - I love it, and I totally get it.

Oldcarfan27 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Although you did a great job on it, weathering for me is just as stressful as super-detailing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weathering is my escape from detailing because its an unkown that always surprises, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
