tbill Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 started messing with this a week ago or so, still undecided on interior color, but we will see what strikes me, lol testors lime ice with 4 coats of clear, needs sand and polish, but is looking pretty decent so far. as always, thanks for looking.
Stingray wes Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 That paint is looking slick my friend!!!! Can't wait to see more.
cobraman Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Sharp paint. Might I suggest white as an interior color ?

Nice Paint Job Question is that a Metallic Paint? ? Thanks Don
ProStreetOnTheStrip Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 I would say for interior, maybe a tan, or light brown
tbill Posted August 27, 2015 Author Posted August 27, 2015 Don, yes, has a ton of flake in it.tan was mentioned by another friend of mine, i think i will paint the interior tub and see how tan looks 'live'.
tbill Posted August 29, 2015 Author Posted August 29, 2015 thanks all. i decided on a dark green for the interior, hope to have some pic's of that after the weekend.
tbill Posted August 29, 2015 Author Posted August 29, 2015 been puttering, have a little done on a bunch of stuff, here are some pic's of stuff so far. hope to do some bmf on the interior panels soon. stay tuned for more.....
rustybill1960 Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Sweet colors I am really liking this Thank You for sharing Later Russ
slusher Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Great progress Tom, i really like the interior color..
tbill Posted September 3, 2015 Author Posted September 3, 2015 thanks all. Kevin, we will have to do a photo shop of them together when we get them done.
Roadrunner Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 thanks all.Kevin, we will have to do a photo shop of them together when we get them done.Works for me, Bill. Oddly enough, I have Photoshop 7 (with about 150 additional filters), but have never really used it for much except resizing pictures. I really should experiment with it some, I guess.
Roadrunner Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 I've become a big fan of the Testors metallics. Granted, they're not everyones cup o' tea, but I like them a lot.
AC Norton Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 I've become a big fan of the Testors metallics. Granted, they're not everyones cup o' tea, but I like them a lot. .I like them as well, Kevin,,,,and find that oversprayed with Tamiya clear, that tones down the bass boat look some colors have. they are nice paints for certain....the Ace.....
Roadrunner Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 Have you figured out a way to deal with the chrome lips of the hood intake yet, Tom? It appears that no chrome parts are given, nor are any lines molded in as a guide.
tbill Posted September 6, 2015 Author Posted September 6, 2015 i haven't yet, been working on several small parts to get them in paint so i can start building something, lol. i will take a closer look here in a bit and see what it looks like.
tbill Posted September 7, 2015 Author Posted September 7, 2015 looks like i may try to bmf each entire 'scoop' and blackwash the 'screen' part of them.
Roadrunner Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Yep, me too, though I'm not yet convinced 100% that I'll bother to try it.
