Flintstone "Custom '59 Imperial"

[bonehead23]

#5 of my recent resin builds, still in progress. This one I thought would be difficult, because the stodgy old stock body is straight from the front to the rear; this resin body has a deep "Door Dip" and I had to make the interior bucket fit the dip. l Once that was done, the rest was just trimming flash and making the interior and chassis fit. I added Pegasus 4-bar spinner wheels and tires to the slammed curbside chassis. Even up on its wheels, it is lower than the naked stock body with no wheels at all. I painted it with Ace "Primer and Paint" then "Bright Red" because the last four resin builds turned out very fragile and even careful handling caused chips and scratches. The Ace paint went on like butter and seems to hold up to the resin.

Neat job on the upholstery Stephen.? The paint looks very smooth and slick, but it looks more like orange than red. It could be just the lighting though.

Great looking color and a smooth finish. You mentioned some past issues with paint on resin bodies. You hadn't mentioned what if any primer you may be using, but self-etching automotive primer works well on resin and most any paint adheres to it.
