The only place I see a hint of green is on the spoon handles. Hopefully you can get some good pics in the sun sometime.😎 Much appreciated Greg. I have the body in the Dehydrator for 8 hrs. I'll do a mock up tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even without the gloss it is spectacular. Thanks Tony. For me, it took a lot of paint testing and practice but I'm getting better at it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zippi Posted February 13, 2023 Author Share Posted February 13, 2023 (edited) I got the clear shot on the body this morning and it's now in the Dehydrator. I also couldn't make up my mind on the color for the wheels & bumpers so I went with the traditional chrome. I has some liquid chrome from a Molotow pen that I airbrushed on. Looks like I forgot the front bumper. Edited February 14, 2023 by Zippi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zippi Posted February 14, 2023 Author Share Posted February 14, 2023 I pulled everything out of the Dehydrator a couple hrs ago and got the body all polished up. The wheels look more like aluminum than chrome but I like it. I did a little mock up and I'm thinking now the Black Green looks better on the spoon than it does on the body. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya it is sort of grey green in the pictures but actually works really really well with the style of the truck. The wheels look better than model kit super, ultra, blindingly bright chrome anyway. Far more realistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zippi Posted February 16, 2023 Author Share Posted February 16, 2023 Got the box glued to the chassis, glass installed, and the bottom of the interior bucket painted. Also got the bumper, grille, and MSD box painted. Should be able to finish this one in the next couple days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
