The ole boy that owned that pickup sure got his moneys worth. Nice job.

That Caddy looks Bodatous. Paint looks nice.

The Nova body came out pretty nice. I airbrushed my 56 Ford pickup with enamel and it didn't turn out very well. I sanded it down and primed it with Rust-Oleum 2X gray primer. I then airbrushed it with Delta Ceramcoat acrylic black paint and cleared it with the Rust-Oleum Crystal Clear Acrylic Lacquer. It then was wet sanded and polished.

Nice work on the Grimlin. Wife had one back in the day.

The Lacquer Root Beer should look pretty kewl on this Merc.

Nicely done. Looks pretty kewl.

Nice build. I like the green.

That's one good looking instruction sheet.

That is one nice looking car. Nice job.

Nice looking. Love the old school Hot Rods.

That's an oldie. Nice job.

Very sharp looking. Nice job on the build.

That's nice. Great job.

Pretty neat little concoction you have there. I like it.

Just can't seem to find the time to get much done on this project. I am doing some paint testing on a 56 Ford truck body but other than that I've got things around the house that I need to do. I did assemble and look at both engine types as I still haven't made up my mind on which one I'm going with.

I won't paint unless the humidity is below 70%. I airbrushed black acrylic yesterday when the humidity was around 67% and it worked out great. Today I'm spraying lacquer gloss clear and the humidity is 55% and temp is 78 degrees. I think the heat is less of a factor than the humidity.

That's a good looking Coronet. The detail work on the dash looks great.

Thanks Tim.

Thank's Tim.

Thank's Bob.

Looks pretty sharp Chaz.

I have never used the Duplicolor paint but I use the Rust-Oleum 2X gray primer. I've sprayed acrylic's, enamels, and lacquers over it without a problem. Like mentioned about, do a spoon test to make sure. That's what I did.

Thanks for that bit of info RRR. Had my head spinning ☺

The first model I built when I got back into the hobby was a 1950 Chevy pickup. I was trying to replicate my 49. Here's my 1949 Chevy 5 window pickup. It's painted Chevy Bright Red, 5.3 engine, turbo 350 transmission, 273 gears, PS/PB, AC & heat.

My local HS just got the lacquer in a few weeks ago. Haven't tried them yet.
