Painted Black Posted November 13, 2021 Author Share Posted November 13, 2021 (edited) Thanks Scott, lets hope I can. I decided to change from the scoop to V stacks. whata ya'll think? Also noticed that on the roof area a bit of gray primer showing thru, so I think I'm going to respray the top, was thinking maybe white with yellow stripes??

FLHCAHZ Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 looks great! I'm working on one of these kits now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painted Black Posted November 17, 2021 Author Share Posted November 17, 2021 So I made my mind up to try the pen on the side trim, if it worked great, if it didn't I'd strip it , shave the trim and repaint. It came out fair, the edges are sorta ragged up close, I'll finish the rest and make my choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used tape to outline the trim and then just went at it, doing the really thin stuff on the doors and fenders will test my shakey hands... 12 hours ago, bluestringer said: Looks great.

Zippi Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 The 57 is really coming together. And you were about to put this one on the back burner at one point. Youve got it licked now and it's looking fantastic man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paint was thin in areas and just not one of my better paint jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
