Flatout Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Hard to go wrong with metal flake on an early 60's drag car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwrass Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 (edited) I agree with Flatout…. if it's the 60s vib your looking for! Also popular of the time.. endless line, panel painting with some type graphic noise inside the panel, lace, acetylene smoke, fades, scallops.....I've been a 1:1 custom painter since the early 70s (see profile) What is old is new again.. I have done more old school paint in the last two years than ever before. I cut my teeth on the afore mentioned techniques. Pinterest is great source of inspiration for ideas. Good Luck with your build! Jimmy "Rass" Edited July 29, 2018 by jwrass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragmodels44 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Here’s the paint scheme I did on that dragster. I followed Tim Boyd’s article on this model when I was trying faded paint jobs. I used metal flake blue and red. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwrass Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Tyler, Great job for a first timer! One suggestion I would have is make you fades a bit softer... (meaning give your fades more space... Have them gradually fade from one color (colors) to the next) doing this will give more dimension. If you have any questions PM me.. I'd be happy tp help! Again Super Job!
