'41 Willy's Street Rod

[Zippi]

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.

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.

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.

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?

Can’t go wrong with silver or the blue ..

I hear ya Carl.  Blue is my favorite color so I gotta get it to work.

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.

[Moparman18064]

Oh yeah!

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.

Looks beautiful. Looks like a Stone, Woods, Cooke candidate. Or a good looking anything else for that matter.

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. 

[gman]

I am really liking that paint job, along with the combo for the interior colour. Nice work so far.

[Speedpro]

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!
