68 Gmc restoration
bandit1 replied to bandit1's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
I think I'm waiting on parts and some paint...the paint I'm looking for is that Teihl blue in that AUTO/TRUCKS paint set by testors which is what this is... I obviously don't have it. -
there is a few little spots that the camera is not picking up.... other than that its ready for clear and decals and detail work...
-
In color... it may look PINK but its not...Got a few touch ups to do then clear then decal then reclear everything... wont clear till I get a can of krystal clear for it...
-
Well here is what is sprayed so far... kind of sprayed a bit heavier than I liked but that's alright... Didn't notice either the side hood panels I sprayed them right but upside down... ill figure out a way to fix that so the paint looks better but her it is PINK and still going to do the door lettering in a hand stencil somehow with my shaky hands...lol
-
Nope... It was molded in white... just had been painted blue but got fisheyes bad then I put it back in the box for several years until just recently when this build off on youtube came about... and developed the idea that I'm chasing now. Spray can... its base white primer, Dark brown rubbed on with a paper towel then sprayed with black now it has its coat of pink... as I'm trying to go for an AGED look and ill get pics up here in a while
-
Got some paint for this... Hopefully ill get this in paint this weekend...

Got some .030 clear sheet plastic via K&S Precision Metals from Hobby Lobby with my 40% off coupon... as well as some Tamiya putty and some paint for this and my sba build...Wondering if this would do for my hood building project?... never done anything like this before? -
Well 2 things... 1. I got the color coat and getting ready to spray everything. 2. One of the bumper brackets came up missing so I put a order into R/M and soon as it shows ill get it blacked out then painted PINK! The Color is HOT PINK from Krylon....
-
Oh I almost forgot... I do have some K&S Clear Plastic Sheet .030 thickness... as well as krylon big can of banner red I got at hobby lobby since they are having a paint sale at 30% off right now... as well as a small krylon short cuts can of hot pink for the Cranky Special build and a bar of tamyia putty to see how that works out...

That's much better. Battery boxes have some issues... the fuel tanks are the same way but not noticeable... not sure which way I will fix that yet... -
