    Thanks fellas!

    How long do you let their lacquer flash out before clearing?  Curious to know if I caught it in a window where the clear wrinkled it or something…odd…


    Got that right brother! 😂


    Regardless…we’re back in color a week later - take 2!

    Definitely NOT using their clear this time around - back to one of my trusty favorites…

    Spent a bunch of time today cleaning up and printing bunch of little parts for a marathon painting session tomorrow, got the interior into color ready for the next stages:

    And spent some time masking up the frame (which I had already painted black) ready for the next steps.  Today‘s fun was shooting a typical primer-with-body-color-fades type deal, and tomorrow I’ll start shooting the metal colored bits metal colors:

    Actually, most reference pics I can find of these cars show about everything black under there so this might not be accurate…but I wanted to make a little more effort than to just shoot it one color and call it good.  Maybe this one will represent an inaccurately-restored car - or perhaps some DID roll off the production line like this…it’ll give me a chance to do some nice detail painting anyway and show off the nice detail under there…

    Anyhoo - that’s today’s pitiful progress - thanks for looking!

    Try Krylon Crystal Clear. Nice looking build!

    Years ago I owned a really nice street driven 1966 Chevy II with a hot 327, manually shifted powerglide, and 12 bolt rear with 4.88 gears.  I had it tubbed and added a six point roll bar.  When AMT released the 1966 Nova Street Machine kit, tried to replicate my car.

    Here I am the day I won my first bracket race at the local track.  Happily, a friend had a photographer taking pictures of all the cars that day.

    To this day, I am sorry I sold that car to go faster.

    Nice Chevy II and fun I bet!
