Zippi Posted September 28, 2022 Author Share Posted September 28, 2022 I've been under the weather for the past week so haven't done much as far as bench time. I felt good enough today to get a little paint on the 32 Coupe. Paint is Tamiya X-1 Acrylic Gloss Black thinned with Mr. Color leveling Thinner 2-1. I was really Leary about painting black but I think it came out ok. I'll let this cure for a couple days then wet sand it then shot the Tamiya X-22 Clear over it. After that it will get wet sanded again and polished it out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zippi Posted September 29, 2022 Author Share Posted September 29, 2022 Ok....I couldn't take it any longer. I got out in the garage early this morning to check the paint. It felt dry to me so I started wet sanding. I decided to use 12,000 grit only as I did on my 65 Chevy II Gasser as it came out pretty good. Here are some pics after wet sanding and after hitting it with the Tamiya X-22 Clear. I think it came out pretty nice. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
