GeeBee Posted February 9, 2017 Author Posted February 9, 2017 Can't believe I've spent most of the day just doing the bmf on one of the interior side panels, also got the steering wheel fitted, the chrome on the horn ring was done using the liquid chrome pen
GeeBee Posted February 11, 2017 Author Posted February 11, 2017 My first time airbrushing paint bought from MCW, absolutely brilliant paint to use, used through my Passche VL-S double action, also this is the first time I've done the paint fade on the floorpan, hopefully it looks something like it should, i could have painted it satin black, as underseal was an option at the factory, but I've been wanting to try this technique for a long time now, the bulkhead was painted a more glossy finish, now i can mask up the floorpan and chassis and get the interior built up, I'm looking forward to trying this paint out on the bodyshell
Dodge Driver Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 Stellar! You have skill and steady hands!
John Goschke Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 Textbook lesson on building this kit! Looking forward to seeing the body in color! Regarding the 300C convertible and '58 300D and '59 300E coupes and convertibles – Their most important difference from the '57 300 hardtop is a compound curved windshield that eliminated the overhang at the top.
Ramfins59 Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 Your work on this car is looking great so far Geoff.
peekay Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 Always enjoy your WIPs Geoff and this one is no exception.
GeeBee Posted February 12, 2017 Author Posted February 12, 2017 Got the body and bonnet painted today, got the fuel tank masked ready for painting, the bodyshell will be left for a few days to dry out before getting a couple of coats of clearcoat

426-Hemi Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 That body color looks GREAT!!!! I did one of these in Panther Pink a couple years ago!!!! Nice job!

GeeBee Posted February 14, 2017 Author Posted February 14, 2017 Got the body and bonnet clearcoated, tested it on the spoon i had painted before doing the model, just to check if it was compatible, luckily it was, i will let this all dry out before wet sanding and polishing it, there's a couple of dust nibs that need removing, the wet sanding will sort that out
426-Hemi Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 Geoff,That color is absolutely GORGEOUS!!!!!
GeeBee Posted February 16, 2017 Author Posted February 16, 2017 Started the wet sanding today, I didn't really have too much to do, as the paint finish is pretty good, so i decided to only sand out the dust nibs and polish the rest, i've removed all the dust nibs and so far polished out the roof panel,
microwheel Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 The paintwork is really turning out beautiful geoff. Can't wait to see how it will look with all the chrome work foiled.
espo Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 That is very SHINNY, and a perfect color. I like how you fogged in the bottom of the floor.
GeeBee Posted February 16, 2017 Author Posted February 16, 2017 Can't wait to see how it will look with all the chrome work foiled.i think it's going to take quite a bit of bmf to do this one
GeeBee Posted February 16, 2017 Author Posted February 16, 2017 I like how you fogged in the bottom of the floor. its the first time I've tried this technique, I hope I've got it looking somewhere near correct
426-Hemi Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Geoff,I love that color! What one is that? I think I may have missed what the actual color was and by whom makes it...... the paint that is! GREAT color man, thats GORGEOUS!
ChrisBcritter Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 i think it's going to take quite a bit of bmf to do this one Just be glad it's a 300 and not a New Yorker! Love the paintwork you've done; really gives me something to shoot for.
