David G. Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Absolutely amazing work on this! Museum quality if you ask me. David G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkJ Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Wow, Pierre. She looks perfect. Can't wait for all the other final shots from every angle. If you had not mentioned brush painting, nobody, I mean nobody would have a clue it was brush painted. You keep giving me inspiration that I can finally get a paint job like this one. I'm never giving up on the quest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 I'd say the first impression of the finished product was certainly worth the effort. Looks better than any I've seen so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Ambrose Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Wow. You did a great job on this. I have two of these kits in my stash, and have frankly been somewhat intimidated by them. I feel like I can try mine now with all this good information. Thank you so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliff W Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Fantastic work, Pierre! Just to close the loop on the paint color - It is indeed Chevy Silver Blue Poly (per Revs Institute painter) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to close the loop on the paint color - It is indeed Chevy Silver Blue Poly (per Revs Institute painter) Cliff, as best as I could figure out from research and fellow builders input, the car campaigned in 63 Mecom Blue (= Pelham Blue) and then Delmo Johnson painted it Silver Blue (a 58 Corvette color) sometimes into the 64 season. The color mix I did was my attempt to replicate Silver Blue. I think I got it 80% right. Good enough for this brush painter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
