53 Chevy Panel

Hi Rusty,

I agree about the pearl. I sprayed some white pearl on a spoon and it did not look good next to the orange.

I'm really digging the left spoon, gold/orange pearl  would look great on that body. Best of luck with a dog breakfast of a kit. 

[B-Ram]

Thanks. I know what you mean about this kit. It is different.

Got the main color on the body. The clear orange with a gold base turned out pretty good. Now I will get the off white on the upper part.

That's looking great!

Very nice paint job. Can't wait to see what the secondary color does to the look.

Very sharp colour combination.

I built this kit long ago from the original redish plastic release. Looking for a different twist for power I swapped in an AMT mid engine subfame with a Chevy 454  with a tunnel ram and 2 four barrels. I put luggage under the hood and displayed with the hood open.

Finished the basic paint job. The off white paint turned out pretty good. I will need to clean up a few areas. You can see the front left corner of the bumper. When I removed the masking tape, the paint pulled off. I am also going to add trim to separate the two colors.

Tire's look great, nice work. What kit are they from or are they after market?

[B-Ram]

The wheels and tires came from my parts. Let me think about it. It will probably come to me around 3 in the morning.

I like the paint treatment.

Lol, sounds about right, then if you're like me you'll promptly forget if you don't write it down. If you remeber great. 

 

Looking  forward to seeing this progress further.
