So I've heard, Topher. I have a flight of Createx iridescent colors in a drawer that I've had for years and never tried. Some day....it may be too late, though. It's probably all dried up.

Thanks, Craig. I use 2 part Bondo glazing for body work and have been using the Mr. Surfacer for minor nicks and scratches for many years now but only had a problem since I started using Tamiya lacquer color. I've been using their fine primer for years with mostly enamel like Testor's and MM. Between the tape issue and now this...(and I recently bought a dozen cans of Tamiya lacquer color before this little problem showed its ugly face.) it looks like I need to think it through better.

It's not a wild, blown, weed burner....just a very polite, modest hot rod. No fancy paint job. No chrome plated axle or chrome plated shocks. Black windshield frame. Stock body. Fabric roof insert. Love it.

See? SEE ?.....thank you Topher! (That didn't take very long 🙂)

This was a $10.00 bill plus 7 more for shipping. Somehow, I thought it would be better. I've got to stop doing this. I do have one more Revell chassis.....🤔

I thought I would get at least one guy to agree with me on this coupe. ☹

It's a '40 tudor. Lots of Testor's enamel applied with a brush. (Funny you should mention the Plymouth, though.) I think it's recoverable enough for a chop. The skirts have me fantasizing about a tail-dragger. I may explore the possibility of using the Plymouth chassis (ready-made I F S - just a thought 🥴) I'll post pix on my old '40 tudor thread; I don't want to devalue yours 🤣

I think this deuce is cool because it still has all the "old fart" hardware on it. 😉 And no bling! ....and maybe the original black paint, too. It looks like it was in a barn for the last 70 years under a tarp and dusted off and well..... anyway, that's how it hits me, QE. A survivor of sorts, but yes...a haircut would be nice....🤔

Hey! Here's a very cool deuce coupe I spotted at my breakfast haunt a few days ago. REALLY look at it closely. IF I OWNED IT I WOULD NOT CHANGE A SINGLE THING.. and how does it make YOU feel? I'm reeeeealy liking the nailhead buick under the open hood. Hardly any chrome. It's like this kid in 1954 took a $150.00 '32 coupe and removed the fenders, dropped the front, and dropped in the nailhead. It looks like a really old build but well cared for. It's friggin' sweet. 😎 hey, I know, but it is my thread.

Hmmmm....🤔. So it's the primer we all know and love? No 💩 ? 😟 what have you found to be a good time delay between coats of barrier paint and primer? ...and primer never touches putty? Thanks, Dennis, I'll will try it your way at the first opportunity.

Probably not, Len. It seems like y'all are revamping old beat-up roaches with eight layers of paint and every decal on the sheet and brown glass and broken A-pillars.....I thought I would join in the fun. 😏 ......ya really wanna see it?

I don't know about you, Michael, but we're ready for a mock-up 😛

Welcome back, Len. You have been scarce lately but family takes priority. I hope all is well on the home front. Now....this isn't the silk purse. It's more like getting King Tut breathing again. Amazing restoration so far, Len. You started with a total horror. (You should see what I just "won" 💩)

Dennis.....I'm confused. 🙁 you are using lacquer gloss color paint to seal what exactly? The putty? Or the primer?

There's nothing better than a cheap date, Len. 😉
