Accidental Patina - Moebius 1965 Plymouth Belvedere

[Justin Porter]

Well, this is an instance for honesty. It has been a LONG time since I have worked with enamels and this paint job with Alclad's Candy Cobalt Blue proves that. I laid down the Alclad Aqua Gloss clear coat FAR too soon and the Candy Blue, which was still gassing out, cracked the clear. Attempts to wet sand out the cracking just led to burn through. I was tempted to strip and start over, but it's a useful tool to show what one poor decision can lead to with a finish. I am happy with how the engine bay, chassis, and interior turned out. I might attempt this build again eventually.

Well-earned streetcar finish. One of my favorite kits as well. like the clean engine and chassis.
