cobraman Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Just started this a couple days ago . Body painted except for the clear . I am second guessing my color combo . I think I should have used a bright white . Colors are Tamiya Pearl White and Tamiya Coral Blue . Too late now to change . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plowboy Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Still looks good Ray! Looks like you sprayed the Pearl White over gray primer? Tamiya Pearl White needs a white base coat to go over. I recently learned the hard way that it's a very finicky color to paint. You could do a coat of white primer and Pearl White to brighten it up if you're not happy with it. Just make sure to attach the hood and tailgate to the body so that it will all match up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted May 6, 2021 Author Share Posted May 6, 2021 Thanks guys. Roger you are so right about white primer. I have some but just wasn't thinking. I'm going to live with this. Lesson learned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve H Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Hi Ray, great looking truck. The colour is actually quite unique, and in my opinion really cool. Like Roger said, it’s a finicky colour that requires white base. It reminds me of a build I did years ago, I used pearl clear over primer grey, I liked it. Cheers, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmericanMuscleFan Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 This is a very nice kit and well molded with nice details. I have always loved these early 60's pickups and you did a great job Ray. As others have mentioned, the color combination is unique and will give a unique result. I like it a lot! 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
