Tom. The color is from a small Dupli Color can I bought at a garage sale years ago. So I don’t know. Lol. Just thought it was the right color. It does say gm382w on the bottom. The interior is going to be a MotoMaster Honda Sage Green but doesn’t look green at all. Again a can dated 1994-95.
I special ordered the paintfrom the auto parts store. It comes in a can. It was $25 and would have done more than 2 cars if I didn't repaint this one 4 times. LOL.
Thank you Mario and Tom. I looked that color up and ordered it from Reilly’s auto parts. But it doesn’t say what type of paint it is.
Yes Mario. I wanted something to photograph the builds in the colder months. It’s not accurate in scale but fun none the less. Made out of Foam Core. ?
Tom. At 67 I’m not going to stress myself out over something that will drive me crazy. It’s suppose to be fun though right?
I will say I find it isn’t great with enamel paints. Tends to craze after a while. I use it. Lacquers seems to be fine. But enamels no matter how old. Seems to always emit some sort of gas or something.
My grandmother had a 1966 Delta 88 in this color. That's why I ordered it. It was a really nice looking car. Now everything is black, white or gray. Except for Chevy. They are putting some bright color schemes out there.
After 3 purple pond trips I consider this done. I know there is a chrome trim line the runs along the top sides but my hand and eye site are not what they use to be. So I left it. I went with the mono color scheme. A few things about this kit. The tire opening is larger than the wheel backs and hub caps. I should have sanded the ridge on the back of the hubcap off. The stance of the wheels in the wheel wells look like the wheels are too far back. And the hump behind the back sit sits too high making the top cover look like it's floating. Other than that I liked it.
Great. Love to hear that. You just brush it on. Let it dry. Cut the decal out. Let it soak a tiny bit. Then apply right? Just want to make sure I've got all the steps down right.
I will admit I am horrible at decals. They always split on me. I dId buy a can of Testors decal blonder spray. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I’ve worked hard at rebuilding an original MPC GTO Super Stocker and don’t want to screw up the decals. They are the new decal though. Thank you.
