1967 Impala in Aclad II Holomatic Spectral Chrome

Do the usual body prep and prime. I used Duplicolor silver over that. Airbrushed three coats of the Alclad. Do NOT try to clearcoat, it will dull the rainbow effect. Then on to finishing the model.

I have a Corvette ZR-1 engine that I've been looking for a home for ever since the car it was in got wrecked. It fits nice here. Then either creagers or 5-slot mags, haven't decided which just yet.

Cool effect! Crazy what paints can be made to do.

How durable is the Alclad without clear?

Black steelies would look good. Hehe. 
 

Very cool paint.

Second time I've done this paint. THEY say it holds up to masking. But one test body I did it striped right off when I tried masking tape.  I plan to go very careful on the window trim masking.

Also, I did use clear on the Porsche 918 and it really killed the prism effect, probably cutting it back 40% from uncleared. At this time, I'm not recommending clear.

Nice effect. Good luck with the window masking.

I put an LT5 engine into one of these last year, it fitted very nicely.

Engine test fit. I need to trim some on the engine bay, but it fits. Then I can rework the exhaust.

That's pretty kewl looking.  I like the ZR-1 Corvette engine.

Very cool paint.

I really like the Molotow chrome paint pens. It took me about ten minutes to do the interior chrome trim. I flocked the bottom part of the door to be carpet, need another spray of paint to color it.

[carl63_99]

Interior is almost done. Another day or two and this one will be on the shelf!

Sweet looking interior…
