ctruss53 Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 I recently finished up the AMT 1961 Impala kit. I built it as my first attempt at a lowrider. The paint job is Splash paints, black base, sparkle silver base, and then 7 different kandy colors. I went to Detail Junkees for the photo etched badges, and Lowrider Parts for the resin wire wheels, tires, and tailpipes. Oh, and this is my first post.

Doug 1061 Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Excellent paint work. I would likely end up in a rubber room if I tried a paint job like that. Great job all around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flamepainter Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I also am very impressed with the beautiful paint job on this '61. It must have taken a long time considering time between coats and colors. I hope you don't mind but I have saved these pictures to use as inspiration sometime later when I get ambitious enough to tray and tackle something so grand. I think I have a '63 Impala that something like this would be great on. This really is what a custom lowrider should look like (in my opinion). Great job Chad.👍 Jim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
