Thank you Donato, appreciate it.

Thank you Michelle.

Thanks Alex.

I completely agree with what Steve's written. Both these in-progress kits were painted using a very similar technique to what he's described. I would add that patience is the key to a good quality paint job. Don't rush it, take your time with each step. The candy blue Camaro has 4 coats of two different blue colors, plus 3 coats of clear. You can just see inside the Camaro that the original color of the plastic is red. The candy red 57 Chevy has a similar amount of clear red over a gold base and 3 coats of clear. The paints and clear coats are lacquers as well.

This is a very nice kit. I've built several of them. Goes together nicely with no major issues. I sprayed the body with House of Kolor Euro Red. Once cured, I masked off the side strip and shot the full length in House of Kolor Silver Pearl. Next I fogged in House of Kolor True Blue Pearl, and lastly, House of Kolor Purple Pearl. I used several coats of House of Kolor Klear and polished the finish. Wheels, tires and disc brakes are by Pegasus.

That color really pops. I like the black motor. Sweet build Bob.

That's one mean looking Ford. Very cool build. Great job Phil.

Your weathering is incredible. I've never been able to weather like that and I admire the work that went into it. Very realistic.

Thanks Jeff. I had a buddy that owned a 67 Tempest. Very nice car, drove well. He swapped in a 389 from a wrecked GTO.

Thanks Carl.

I love shoebox Fords and lead sleds. What a great way to honor your friendship. Great build, great car your friend has too.

Thank you.

Curtis thanks. I agree, would love to see a convertible of this kit.

Mario, thank you.

Thanks a lot David.

Thank you.

Roger, many thanks.

Thank you.

Thanks Jeremy.

Thank you Bob.

Ok, I figured out how to respond to individual comments. Thanks bisc63, appreciate it.

Interesting photography and super high gloss shine. Gotta love a Model T, great build.

Great innovation and scratch building. You're on a roll Michelle.

These cars look so good in silver. Very nicely done.

For some reason the forum won't permit me to respond to individual comments on my build. I'll thank everyone cumulatively then for the very kind comments. I'm very flattered with so many positive responses.
