brewsterg6 Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 1957 Chevrolet by AMT... Wheels and rims from older issue kit, Prairie Grass by Colorspray and Tamiya Ivory for the top. Photo etch by Modelcar Garage.
brewsterg6 Posted August 19, 2008 Author Posted August 19, 2008 A satin finish on the paint??? It's true, Harry... You're not supposed to point that out!! I was picking based on the colour, and I couldn't find a proper 1950's shade of green, so I made do with this.

Many people use paints that are flat or semi-gloss as the base color (sometimes, like you said, because the color is only available that way), and then just shoot clear gloss over the top. That's the way real cars are painted (base color coat and clear gloss topcoat). Works great on models too! Now you know, for your next one!
FactoryStock54 Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Very nicely done! Real clean. Good choice on the color-combo too!
MarkJ Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 Excellent build!! If you want it glossy its not too late for some future, but it looks great just the way it is.
