charlie8575 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 With upheaval the only constant of late, I've started working on a few easy builds to keep doing something. This '59 Imperial is now awaiting my getting enough courage up to try to foil it. The '66 Merc is in primer, and a few small parts are painted. The color scheme will be Burgundy with a matching interior. The interior of the Imperial will also need detail painting. The colors is Highland Green.

mrm Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I am glad to see that I am not the only one taking over the kitchen counters in the house. LOL. I don't know about anyone else, but my wife is not amused by it and makes herself heard. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant to order Sherwood Green (very dark, really nice color), but I've had a lot of very positive feedback on this. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie8575 Posted November 13, 2020 Author Share Posted November 13, 2020 Burgundy on the Merc now. I'll give it a color-sand tomorrow, and probably another coat, as no matter what I do, I always seem to remove paint and expose plastic underneath, and I've tried everything I can think of to avoid doing that-, finer grits, sanding pads and blocks, and even polishing compound with microfibre applicators. I'm wondering if the paint is getting softer from what it used to be, or if it's the changes to plastic? Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
