Mopar - D Posted September 17, 2022 Author Share Posted September 17, 2022 My paint order arrived 3 days before the ETA date so I was able to get the 3rd coat sprayed on and it is now ready for the clear coat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills72sj Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 I love the kit bashing and the color. I always liked this body style more than the Charger. Opening up the grille is impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopar - D Posted September 22, 2022 Author Share Posted September 22, 2022 I’ve clear coated and waiting on it to dry to buff it out. I’ve also ordered some white pin stripes to add on the sides. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopar - D Posted September 23, 2022 Author Share Posted September 23, 2022 I buffed out the clear coat and added some chrome trim around the windows and wheel openings. Did a test assembly to make sure everything is still going together the way it should. I’ve ordered some white pin striping today for the sides. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
