AMTs 66 malibu ss

[TNT]

Just buffed this out with wax no clear.

Used testors star spangled blue lacquer.  Primed then lightly sanded then 2 coats of paint then lightly sanded and a final coat then buffed out with wax. Just another body painted for a winter build. Maybe.

Great looking color and the body lines show well.

Thanks. Those laqeurs are tough to use some times and then the clear can make them look chunky. I just leave them in the sun on a hot day and shake really good and use light coats and pray it all comes out good.

The white spots are refections. Looks like chips or rub through but its not. Done that before.

I have used this paint and color to replicate a '66 Impala SS that I had owned long ago. The one thing that I liked was the paint coverage with lots of piment in the paint. One or two light coats tend to give you good coverage without burring any fine body or trim details.

They do cover good and the are nice to buff. A pain to remove if i mess up. I have the 70s monte carlo and the paint bubbled on the lower side a little and i soaked it in purple power and the paint still looks great. May just sand out the bubbles.
