Tommy124 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Hi folks, I finished another one. This is first Polar Lights kit I built. It's one from the series of pre-painted (snap) kits, although "painted" is rather inadequate given the fact that the body was just black plastic covered with clear coat. Anyways, I stripped the clear off and did my first ever white paint job on a model, using Tamiya white primer and Racing White paint. Here we go: Taking a spin on a sunny day, along with his younger brother ('65 AMT)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classicgas Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Very nice but on my monitor it looks more a light ivory/cream color? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Great looking Convertible, The color does come out looking a little beige but I remember seeing on with this same maroon interior color back when and it looked good also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodent Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Racing White is creamy, it's a lot like Ford Wimbledon White. I have never built a Polar Lights kit, but I keep seeing them on here and may get one at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy124 Posted April 6, 2020 Author Share Posted April 6, 2020 (edited) Thanks for your comments! Yes indeed, Tamiya Racing White is a much warmer, creamier kind of white than I'd expected. And I used it over white primer, so it couldn't have been toned down by that. But if you compare it to the Butternut Yellow/ Mayfair Maize color on the 65 GTO on he last image, you will find there is quite a difference compared to light yellow, so it's fine by me.
