espo Posted March 13, 2020 Posted March 13, 2020 Beautiful looking build. I remember that color from that time period and always thought it looked great. I'll have to try your masking idea for the side chrome.
StevenGuthmiller Posted March 13, 2020 Posted March 13, 2020 Actually Rich, the color you used is not as close to "Orchid" as it is to "Royal Amethyst" which was also a factory correct color for the '59 Pontiac. I used the Buick version, called "Lido Lavender" on a '59 Buick Invicta build some time back. There were some very cool colors available on the GM cars in 1959. The Royal Amethyst and Sunset Glow were 2 of my favorites! Steve

MrObsessive Posted March 14, 2020 Posted March 14, 2020 Absolutely Beautiful Job!! REALLY like the color because it's sooooo.........'50's! I got one of these as a restorable rebuilder many years ago, but I've never done anything with it. It really deserves to be redone as you never see these on the contest or NNL tables and originals are that much harder to find anymore. Congrats on a job VERY well done!
