STU111 Posted September 18 Posted September 18 I guess my favourite and best paint job to date is my 71 442 Olds. My first attempt at painting it red ended in tears and the Olds going for a dip in the iso propyl alcohol bath. But, l rebounded and produced my best job so far, victory from the jaws of defeat as they say. Cheers, Stuart. 4

STU111 Posted Sunday at 02:02 AM Posted Sunday at 02:02 AM 4 hours ago, TransAmMike said: Oh yeah Stuart...beautiful but ya didn't say what paint it is 🤔 G’day Mike, Tamiya TS-8 Italian red over their red oxide surface primer. Then 5 coats of TS-13 starting with very light coats, ( to guard against decals wrinkling ) building up to a final wet coat. Then I left it for a month or so and slowly rubbed it out with 8,000 then 12,000 grit micro mesh. I fluked it, as the bodies I’ve sprayed since just haven’t come out as well despite using much the same technique.
TransAmMike Posted Sunday at 06:45 PM Posted Sunday at 06:45 PM Well all the attention to detail and that long process sure paid off. Just beautiful. Me, I have no patience to finish a paint job over month long process. Again, terrific job👍👍
