I’ve been reading that there is an issue with handling chrome paint (specifically Revell). Some parts like rims must be touched by hand to insert them into the tire, do gloves help? Any suggestions would be appreciated before I invest in a can.

Pretty sure any car would look cool as a gasser.

The subtle weathering looks great. Well the whole truck does too. Very impressive!

Now that’s a paint job! Great work

The color combo gives it a real vintage look…great work!

Nice shiny paint job…real nice build!

Excellent work, paint, decals, details ect…

Decals went on nice. (Powerslides) They were a little tight fitting, this is a 1/25 AMT.

Finally decided to get back to this one, added some BMF and panel line paint to the grill area.

Real sharp. I like how you did the black around the windshield.

Real sharp!?

I had been waiting a long time for these decals, finally was able to purchase a set. Used a Revell Bill Elliot kit. The body had a warp in it, but nothing major. This paint scheme was only run once at the 1997 finale at Atlanta. I don’t know who manufactured the decals, I had some major issues. Where the red and white colours meet, there should be a silver pin stripe. The first one disintegrated. I applied microsol, but it didn’t help. Since there was no bleeding from the two paint colours, I decided to go ahead without the silver stripes. I applied microsol to the large Winston hood decal and all the silver ran, ruining it completely. The grouped contingency decals broke apart. Luckily I found another set on EBAY and was able to complete the kit.

Monogram ‘59 Impala…lots of chrome trim, maybe try Revell chrome spray instead of BMF. Can’t wait to get started!

With the magazine and keys on the front seat, I thought I was looking at a real car…fabulous work!

Sorry, already been tossed.

What is silvering of decals?

Love the stance. Looking forward to the completed project

Real sharp. Love the side by side with the Torino. Nice work on both.

Real sharp looking…

Thanks for the tips everyone, I ended up using 1200 grit paper and lightly sanded.

The window black came pre-done. Just had to glue it in.

Jimmy’s last decent ride, Revell kit with Wetwork decals. Real nice kit to build.

Sorry for the confusion. It’s the two black marks beneath the arrows.

I have a couple small overspray issues on my next build, any tips for removing them?

Outstanding paint and detailing.
