How did you paint the wood on the center console? Thank You. Yours is coming along nice too. For the wood in the console I lightly mixed Tamiya flat brown and flat earth and brushed it on. Tried to grab both colors together but separately if that makes any sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man that clear is amazing! What did you use? An airbrush or spray can? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clear coat was Tamiya straight rattle can. The color coat was Tamiya decanted and airbrushed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow for using a rattle can that turned out great! I could never get a paint job like that with a spray can. Thats why I went to airbrushing.😁 Amazing job!

Moparman18064 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Loving it. I had a chance to buy one same color combo 440/ auto back in high school for $500( blown engine). I kick myself over and over. Looks fantastic throughout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickfzr61 Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 (edited) I know what you mean. Back in the early 80’s I passed on a 64 convertible vette in very nice condition for 5 grand and in the late 80’s a chassis up restored big block 70 SS Chevelle red with black stripes and red interior for $12,000.00. I wish that I knew what I know now. When I was younger. Edited February 24 by nickfzr61 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted pics in the Under Glass section and they look okay. I’m out now but I’ll check it when I get home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
