Wow, John. That's the best I have ever seen that car done. How did you get the paint so metallic but yet still glossy. Amazing.

Mark,

 

I just sprayed the body with DupliColor scratch filling gray primer, wet sanded it smooth, then shot MCW #2151 metallic silver,  masked and sprayed MCW #2000 black, and covered it with a very light coat of clear. Sometimes the paint Gods just smile on you. It only goes to prove "that even a blind squirrel stumbles on an acorn every now and then".

I really hope all is going well back in my home state of Texas, take care my friend.

John

Thanks, John. I would have thought you would have had to do something extravagant to get those results.  Again , awesome job.  We dodged the bullet on this horrible weather the east coast got. Its back in the 60's here today.
