Sergey Posted September 7, 2020 Author Posted September 7, 2020 Let's continue! Have made towing eyes Sprayed top coat on white and grey primers Chose - white. Interior treated the same way Black parts. By the way: what color should be firewall painted? Instruction says - black. But I guess it must be body color? Chrome parts were socked in acid for drainpipes cleaning Though face & tail bumper were treated with sand paper. Thank you for attention! Feel free to ask questions!
Oldmopars Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 I think you would be safe either way on the fire wall. There is always so much "Stuff" on the fire wall that they look black in most photos. However they are painted body color from the factory. They always have insulation and black plastic panels that cover the body color. So, black would be a fine choice as that is what you would normally see. As for the build, you are doing a great job. This thing is fantastic. I love all the extra details you have put into it, great job, keep it up. Oh, and the added fender extensions here in the USA are called "Fender Flares" if aftermarket or "Wheel Arch Moldings" if from the factory. You did a great job making those, they look perfect.
wrenchr Posted September 8, 2020 Posted September 8, 2020 Firewall body color, under body over spray body color over gray primer with black frame. I have a 01 and have spent some time under it.
espo Posted September 8, 2020 Posted September 8, 2020 I would go with wrenchr's suggestion. I have owned a '74, a '79, and a '95. All had body colored firewalls with the body sealer he mentioned along the bottom edge. I like how you masked off the chrome trim for the grill and front bumper.
Sergey Posted September 8, 2020 Author Posted September 8, 2020 Thank you a lot, Gentlemen for your help and coments! I will continue spraying. ?
AmericanMuscleFan Posted September 11, 2020 Posted September 11, 2020 Nice color Sergey, I love what you're doing with your amazing attention to details!
Sergey Posted September 12, 2020 Author Posted September 12, 2020 I don't stand close to your skill, Francis, but thank you for kind words! ?

kilrathy10 Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 Man, you are good at this stuff... You, certainly, have the "Gift"....
Sergey Posted September 27, 2020 Author Posted September 27, 2020 (edited) Hi, Gents! Have sprayed discs with black gloss Next - Alclad: polished aluminum. It turned out so-so (sorry I didn't take a picture). So I rubbed some more Ginsun powder on it. Get better. I sprayed the cab and body with Kudo clear gloss can. First - the tail gate, using the balloon. It spits. Poured out the varnish for the airbrush. It's better, but there's orange peel on top coat anyway. I've tried different metallics. An interesting effect is given by burnt metal from Mr color. Polished exterrior. Enjoy the pictures! Edited September 28, 2020 by Sergey
AmericanMuscleFan Posted September 27, 2020 Posted September 27, 2020 What's the name or code of that blue color Sergey? It's simply gorgeous and I would be interested to use this kind of blue on one of my builds.

Thanks for the info Sergey, however I realise that this is a product from Russia so I will have to find something equivalent in North America! Thanks anyway, Francis

Sergey Posted January 26, 2021 Author Posted January 26, 2021 Let's dust off the topic Still learning to mask off the parts
espo Posted January 26, 2021 Posted January 26, 2021 Glad to see you're getting back to this build, I thought maybe I missed it in Under Glass some time ago. Great looking Grill and Bumpers.
iamsuperdan Posted January 26, 2021 Posted January 26, 2021 Glad to see this one back It's looking excellent!
Mattilacken Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 Beautifull! I need to strip my bumper and try to make it as nice as yours! For the tail light reflectors, did you use putty or whats your tecnique? I am now making progress on my gluebomb rescue from when i was young, for the Cannonbal run build, so it will mostly be Silverado body and C5-R under the skin ?.
Sergey Posted February 8, 2021 Author Posted February 8, 2021 Thank you, Anton! I used Tamiya's epoxy putty to make tail light reflectors. Then I treated they with Dremel like tool. Good luck to you!
