W-409 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Thanx, Stephen ! Not too Fancy update, but just wanted to let you know, that body is now ready for paint. I'm waiting now for the paint, I should get it tomorrow, so hopefully it'll be in Blue soon. Then I must paint the white top, of course. I have to move on to the interior too.

rmvw guy Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 This was my first Hudson, just thought I would post it here even though it was "under glass". Nice roundup of Hudsons here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, you might want to paint the white first, then the blue. That'll make it a bit easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Yep, it might be easier like that. But I'll do the blue first, some how it's just my style and I'm used to it. For Example I painted red first on this '55 Chevy (1/32 Scale though) and then the white. Don't know why I do it this way but it works okay, though.

W-409 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 There's nothing like Fresh paint job ! I started by taping the top, it will be painted white later on. And here's the body with some blue on it, looks pretty good. In the picture, the paint is wet and it is not going to be that glossy when it's dry, but clearcoat and polishing will help.

cobraman Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I like that shade of blue. What did you shoot that car with ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Thanks, Ray! The paint is made by Maston, and color code is 803. I don't know if you have Maston paints in USA, but here in Finland they are pretty easy to get, and they work well, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-409 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 The Top of My Hornet is painted White. It turned out pretty good, but when I took masking tapes off, I saw that there had been little "Leak" and now I need to do little fixing with blue paint. Luckily that white paint will be covered mostly with BMF, only little blue paint touch is needed. I will clearcoat the body soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olskoolrodder Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I hate when that happens,but yeah,most of it will be covered. Looks great,Brother,loving the colors together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Thanx, Stephen. Color combo fits perfectly to this car, that's why I had to keep it, even if the boxart has same color scheme on it. Usually I paint my models with different color than the box art. Anyway, here is the body clearcoated. It turned out pretty good. Now I have to fix those little paint leaks, I didn't want to do it before clearcoat, because I wasn't sure if the clear would react with Blue Enamel Paint... So, it can be done after clear, too. Then polishing and BMF, this should be Done Soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Minor report... I now have not one, but TWO '52 convertibles in my possession. Hope to have some more substantial updates soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-409 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Thanks guys! It's shiny, but not so smooth-after polishing it will be beautiful. Anyway I'm having bit hurries, and it will take some time to get back on the Hudson, maybe a week or so. Chuck, nice job on the Convertible! Will watch this very closely.

Chuck Most Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Took out my agresssions and shot at it last night. Also managed to get the hood, bumpers, and grille painted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxer Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 It's probably only what a Hudson really deserves, Chuck. I'll stand beside ya when others get fired up and in a rage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
