1970 Superbird

I have been making my vinyl tops by spraying on the texture since the early 80's; even done some with tape.  But this time I did it by freehand brushing with acrylic black paint.  Very easy and no masking needed.

One of the first things I did when I started this kit was to deal with the windows.  They were yellowed quite a bit, (like most of these kits are now).  After I cut the individual windows out I put them in the sun for a couple weeks to try to get them a little clearer. 

I planned to not use the door windows so I did not put them in the sun so I could compare later.  The contrast between the yellow tone on them to the others that have been sun-bleached is quite noticeable.

I thought I'd use the kit decals for the black panels on the nose because they were printed in flat black.  Unfortunately one of them broke into a few pieces when I went to apply them.  So I had to make new ones.
