Zippi Posted February 7 Author Share Posted February 7 Yesterday I got the body cleaned up and back in primer. Today I shot the Tamiya Silver Leaf on. All is looking well considering this was a fail the first time around. This time I'm "NOT" going to wet sand the Silver Leaf. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TransAmMike Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Oh yeah Buddy, that is a great looking silver...kind of a shame to cover it up with the blue but the blue is pretty too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Buddy. I really liked how the blue had that candy effect to it. Blue ismy favorite color so I had to try it again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moparman18064 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Good luck on the respray, the candy blue really looked great on it. If not, primer gray and steal a Hemi out of a matador cop car😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zippi Posted February 8 Author Share Posted February 8 Well...the second paint job with the same Silver Leaf and Clear Blue came out much better this time around. I'll let this set for a couple days then wet sand and polish. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve H Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Yes sir!! That looks fantastic Bob. It’s a shame you had to strip the first paint job, but the extra effort has paid off, and that blue is stunning. Very nice. Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zippi Posted February 10 Author Share Posted February 10 I got some of the chassis assembled this morning and got the mufflers painted. I was going to shoot the clear on the body today but it rained all night and the weather just isn't right. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gman Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I am really liking that paint job, along with the combo for the interior colour. Nice work so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedpro Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 looking good! Too bad you had to paint it twice. Second time is always better in most cases and that's what you got here. Clean looking build so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
