'50 Olds - Root Beer Float

Nice one!

When you mentioned "Root Beer" for the color, that caught my eye.

I have a car body that I painted with the Testors "Root Beer" lacquer.

For the contrasting color, I chose Model Master #2909 "Light Ivory".....

Just a thought.....

'Preciate it.

I had to strip the first run at the color due to dirt I missed in the paint cup. Re-cleaned everything but that, so wouldn't ya know it. That in itself was no big deal...an hour or so with the high test alky on a cloth and it was ready to go...but I apparently missed one little sliver while masking the body off, and some alky wicked down through the mask onto the trunk.

. Dunkittydunk a day in the junk.

No justice done by this pic. The blonde looks fantastic with the brown to the naked eye. I couldn't be more pleased with the combo between them and how the interior colors play off everything. No clear or buffing yet...gonna let it sit a week or so before I touch it.
