bobthehobbyguy Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Love the color. Is the spot in the color coat or the clear? If its in the clear you could use a brush and fill the spot with clear and then polish it out.. looking forward to seeing more.
Kennyboy Posted March 30, 2015 Author Posted March 30, 2015 Thanks guys! The dot is the one you can see above the C pillar in the pics.......it is near the edge. After some thought though, I could do a two tone....like a darker roof or something.
bobthehobbyguy Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Thought. The lil coffin had a white insert for the foof. How about painting a white panel on the roof.
DrKerry Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Make a surf board rack and have it mount where the spot is. Paint up a couple kool long boards and throw them on top!!!!!!!! Just my two cents!!!! LOL
vette1955 Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Awesome work Ken!! Not bad for someone that isn't into Old School stuff!!!!
Kennyboy Posted March 31, 2015 Author Posted March 31, 2015 WOW, the amount of customizing you have done here is incredible mate, and they all work perfectly each other, and that paint!!!!!!!!!! Just beautifil!! Well thank you Dale! I am glad you like it mate! Beautiful paint. Is that already polished? Thanks Kevin! Nope, that was just with the clear cured enough to touch it.
Kennyboy Posted March 31, 2015 Author Posted March 31, 2015 Alright guys, I went at it tonight after work and wetsanded the roof down to feather out the darn dot. After wetsanding, I shot the roof edges in Black Pearl and buried all the burn through, next I shot over the Black Pearl with a nice misting of Pink Pearl, then I Kandied over the whole roof with Kandy Pink, and finally buried it all under 3 more coats of Lacquer Clearcoat........looks pretty darn good now! No pics until tomorrow though.......I want it all to dry thoroughly before going near it again!! Thanks for following!!
Kennyboy Posted March 31, 2015 Author Posted March 31, 2015 Awesome work Ken!! Not bad for someone that isn't into Old School stuff!!!! Hey thanks Justin! you know, you are right (about the Old School thing....but I am working on that! ) Outstanding Thanks Ben!!
slusher Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 What a great color Ken, looks like HOK Blood Red. Really sharp looking model. looking forward to the new pictures...
Kennyboy Posted April 1, 2015 Author Posted April 1, 2015 Took pics last night......but it was dark outside so the artificial light made it look just like the above pics. In the right ambient light you can REALLY see the Pearl pink in the roof and the top of the beltline. I will try to get some shots in outside ambient light after work......depending on what time I get out.
Kennyboy Posted April 1, 2015 Author Posted April 1, 2015 Got some pretty good ambient photos after work.........captured the pearl pretty nice!
customsrus Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 interesting very interesting, color looks really cool.
Draggon Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 Thats pretty, color looks like a sucker. We like suckers.
Stray Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 how you guys get such killer paint layed down is beyond me. FLat black is what I'ma stick with forever now.
DrKerry Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 Looks good Ken, I got a decal for a name if you'd want....... It has the idea your daughter came up with in it...... Pepper!!!!!!
