SUPER BEE & 57 CHEVY

[bauercrew]

Hey guys here is the super bee that me and granddaughter started , I told her to pick a color ,this is what she picked and she wasn't budging  so I let her spray it her first time ever spraying with air brush,boy was that funny we were both laughing so hard it took her 3 times but it worked out great(I use the cheap craft paints on all bodies so we washed it off twice and third time was perfect ,she is only 10 yrs old),then she wanted to clear it but I said no cause it was some nasty chemicals and didn't want her exposed to it she didn't like it but oh well I WON that debate,( was duplicolor acrylic enamel clear in can)I know call me paranoid,then she says to ME well YOU spray it,quiclky reminded her who the adult was,but none the less she was happy she got to spray her first car,i know nothing is correct as far as being accurate representation of said vehicle  ,but it is going on her shelf,,the 57 is also painted with cheap craft pain don't know color because it was left over from something else,the model was a basket case ,someone sanded most of the drip rails off , some with window molding didn't have much left to cover,suspension parts were missing ,motor parts missing ,so it pretty much curb side.and she also sprayed the interior of cornet,she didn't want to put down the air brush

Looks like your granddaughter is doing very well with the airbrush and you'll have to get one for yourself. LOL! That color on the Bee is "shocking" but the car does look real nice. I like the colors on the '57 as it was a good choice.

I am happy for the two of you, as she did a wonderful job!!!

Those both turned out GREAT! I'm with her. I think the color on the Bee looks just fine and fitting. She has some real talent showing there. Great job.

BTW-NICE save on the 57. Just goes to show that a lot of times a basket of parts is not too far gone.

Thanks for sharing.

Later-

Well you now know what to get here for Christmas. That color looks perfect for a young lady. The '57 really hits my hot spot. I think the colors you came up with look like Sierra Gold and India Ivory tutone from that time period. That is the stance that still looks best.

That Super Bee looks like its painted real well and it looks like panther pink too So its accurate too nearly .

thanks everyone,i showed the granddaughter the comments , she was excited, but I got to remember she is only 10 years old so her brain is going like thousand miles an hour.,she not really interested in doing a complete model by herself yet, so I will take what I can getwe allways spend time together when we can ,but these times seemed a little different in a good way,besides it got her away from facebook and all that other computer garbage,dont get me wrong, im not against technology just need a break from it sometimes,so I guess she will be my body painter until she ready for the whole kit.
