A couple of recent projects

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.

Looking good, like that shade of green..

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

No wife, just my dad, and as long as he has a place to make a sandwich or a cup of coffee, he's happy.

That color was actually an accident. I meant to order Sherwood Green (very dark, really nice color), but I've had a lot of very positive feedback on this.

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?
