Hi Marcos,

One thing I noticed on your build is that you got in and around the bumper area with the body paint to correctly mimic how most American seventies cars were. I'm currently building this same model and am painting it with Splash paint's lime green color and am trying to use that same paint with a brush to do both the rims and bumper area, but because it is in reduced form am having trouble getting them to look "full color" like you did. Any tips? Great looking build too!

Thank you, that area was actually masked and airbrushed. I used Bare Metal Foil around the perimeter of the lights for masking purposes and masked the bumper as well. If you brush it, you will end up with brush marks....

Same with the wheels?

I actually scraped the chrome off of the part you see painted. After removal of the chrome, I brushed two coats of primer and three coats of the paint to achieve full coverage. Brushmarks on the wheels will not be noticeable.......

Thanks for your time and I really appreciate showing the rim picture.
