Revell 1968 GTO Street Machine

[jdhog]

I bought this kit as an open box from eBay several years ago.  Had to strip the previous owner's failed paint job.  All the parts were in the box, thankfully.

The color is Testors Aztek Green Pearl with Rust-oleum Crystal Clear Enamel clear coat.  The tires and wheels were from the parts box.  I think they came from the Revell 67 Chevelle Station Wagon.

Wonderful kit.  I really enjoyed building it.  Thanks for giving it a look.  ?

Wow, you have done a great job restoring it!  If you didn't have the first picture to prove it, it never happened!

Well done, the car looks very good with metallic green.

Thank you very much.  I'm a bit fan of Citristrip.

Great job restoring this. The paint is nice and smooth, and the color shows the body lines well. Like the "Day 2" style.

Great save! Liking the green paint and the wheels look right on. High school hot rod for sure!

Looks good, nice to see someone else using the Aztek paints.  Not sure if I have the green but I've got most everything else....for now.

I love those paints.  I guess they have discontinued them?  I bought up a stash worth some time back and haven't shopped for any since.

They were discontinued a few years ago.  Only colors left are hot pink and transparent rose.  Could make some interesting combinations, I've been playing with layering the metallic pearls over different base colors as they seem to let some of the base color come thru.

Been a while since I bought them!
