bandit1 Posted July 1 Posted July 1 This is cool, saw the GTO show off when Steve Magnete (I am horrible with names lol) gave one to his buddy. soon down the road I'll nab one,
johnwitzke Posted July 6 Author Posted July 6 So here is an update. Final color coat on the car. I will let this set for a couple of weeks to allow it to gas out. Then it will be hand polished to replicate a factory finish. I used Scale Finishes 1973 Pontiac Florentine Red. 6
johnwitzke Posted July 6 Author Posted July 6 Interior color was changed to Black with red accent carpeting. This was a factory option. Paint used was MCW semi gloss black lacquer. 2
rickcaps55 Posted July 7 Posted July 7 WOW that color came out beautiful. The interior has a great finish with the black you used this is going to look great i just got a mail notice mine should be here by Friday. I am still not sure of what color to use yet.
DoctorLarry Posted July 7 Posted July 7 Mine is going to be Golden Olive with a Dark Saddle interior. I have a 73 Grand Am 4 door that is Florentine Red. Great color choice! 1

johnwitzke Posted July 12 Author Posted July 12 Polished Florentine Red. No clear coat. Trying to replicate a factor finish. Next will be the masking off the engine compartment, front wheel wells and interior roof and side panels for semi gloss black paint. Work continues on the interior detailing, it will be time for the cardinal red carpet. I will post a photo of the completed interior later. 5
johnwitzke Posted July 12 Author Posted July 12 Decals have arrived. GTO on the fenders and trunk lid will be white. the body stripe will be applied. There are various interior and under hood decals that I will use. 3

Is the body 3D printed first then a mold is made to be cast? Where would one find these 3D cast bodies or kits? Andy prints these on a 3D resin printer and from what I've seen does a great job with them. The files for these cars are from Andrey Bezrodny and can be purchased on a couple of the 3D file sites.
