MarcoTJ Posted March 20, 2021 Posted March 20, 2021 This is the Nova COPO kit. I added a vinyl top made with masking tape. The stripes were painted on and the chrome parts repainted. Trims were also painted. The wheels are from the 68 Chevelle kit. Wiring details in the engine are from a cell phone charger. Paints are car paints base coat with 2k clear. Hope you like it! 1

It's a very fine metallic. I really need to get into airbrushing, the metallic aerosols I use do tend to be heavy with the flake.
1972coronet Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 That is a beautiful Nova , @MarcoTJ! I truly enjoy the choice of colours ; perfect for the era of that car . Flawless construction -- I hope to see more of your built kits !
Spottedlaurel Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 What a wonderful build! Great colour choice inside and out, and the vinyl roof suits it perfectly.
Kit Basher Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 Beautifully done! I'm really impressed with the paint work on the stripes.
TarheelRick Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 Outstanding Nova. Beautiful overall build, but I really like the paint work - two thumbs up.
Kromolly Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 Wow, excellent looking Nova. I assumed it was airbrush painted. The paint is beautiful. What brand did you use?
Steve H Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 If someone told me that metallic green is the best looking colour for a 69 Nova, I would have said, “nah”. Then I saw this, wow, what a beauty! Of course it helps that the paint is flawless. Love this build, very clean. Cheers, Steve
