  1. 30 years off, and you come back and do THAT awesome foil-job??? :o:P

    Looking great in every way as a matter of fact, keep it up!

    Thanks, first time using foil...took a long time to get it right.....light years ahead of trying to paint the chrome on though LOL...

    Yea, last car I built was in 1974......still have about a half dozen of them I found in the basement, going to try and restore a few of them.....all the chrome has disspeared off them though......just completley gone from sitting , just white plastic left....I guess foiling the entire bumper/grilles is the way to go ?

    What is the best way to clean the paint up before spraying the clear ?

  2. First build after a 30 year hiatus..58 AMT Impala....Tamiya spray can Racing White over Coral. Bare Metal Chrome applied..whata pain that was..LOL

    I have Tamiya TS-13 clear to spray it with, what do I use to clean up the body prior to the clear ? I have the 3 Tamiya compounds/polish paste..use before or after the clear ?
