mrmike Posted May 26 Author Posted May 26 (edited) I have a similar paint color in a Tamiya spray can that I plan on using. Did you have to strip your paint as well? Edited May 26 by mrmike
slusher Posted May 28 Posted May 28 I have my Testors enamel from the late 80’s and 90’s but I will not buy another can of that stuff..
mrmike Posted May 29 Author Posted May 29 This was a can of lacquer from a few years ago. I now buy strictly Tamiya paints since they are easier to use and the nozzles don't stick. I have been sanding the Dodge Street Van this afternoon and my fingers hurt. Still a long way to go. The driver's side looks decent, but the passenger side has a long way to go.
mrmike Posted June 3 Author Posted June 3 I've been paintin" yesterday! I've painted the interior and pieces and primered the body. I didn't do the roof or the front end as there were too many holes to deal with. 2
mrmike Posted June 7 Author Posted June 7 The interior is almost finished. I added a tri-pack of extra gauges to hint of a performance van. I have assembled a table to go between the bench seats in the rear of the van. The table needs to be painted. 1
slusher Posted June 10 Posted June 10 You have made some progress! I would tape off the inside windows and front and primer the roof or around the roof slants paint won’t stck evenly…
mrmike Posted June 10 Author Posted June 10 That is what I am planning. I have just realized that I do not have any rear windows for this van. I will have to make some. Probably out of acrylic sheet.

mrmike Posted June 11 Author Posted June 11 I went and painted the Street Van with Tamiya TS-20 Metallic Green paint. It came out very well! Now to let it dry and cure until this weekend and then I'll add a clearcoat. 3
Leica007 Posted June 11 Posted June 11 Mike New paint looks a lot better (lol), glad to see the progress. I have a spare rear door glass you can have if you want it, let me know and pm your address. Lei
Leica007 Posted Sunday at 02:55 AM Posted Sunday at 02:55 AM You're welcome Michael. I'll mail it to you Monday. Lei
