I wanted to test a new color I bought from lhs for my upcoming 59 Impala, Testors dark cherry pearl lacquer . I washed a couple spoons w alcohol, and commenced.
The base colors I had available was gloss black, inca gold, diamond dust, and champagne gold. I thought the pearl would be very transparent, but after 2 coats I wasnt able to discern much difference.
Heres all together - the yellow one didnt receive as much paint it looked much more see thru
screwing around with some Ultra gloss clear I shot 2 wet coats over the black base and silver
I cant wait to get building this now , plan to have a black roof / trunk then the dark cherry body / hood
