6bblbird Posted Saturday at 11:55 PM Posted Saturday at 11:55 PM I did this one just for fun. Not overly detailed because I didn't want to spend a lot of time on it. I did add plug wires, heater hoses and RWL tires. Essentially o.o.b.. I did wind up painting it twice. The first paint was an old can of Testor's enamel. After two weeks it was not drying so I stripped it. The second paint was automotive lacquer. It went on perfectly ! I did not try to replicate a vinyl top. The idea was to build as if a two tone paint scheme was ordered from the factory ( you could actually order cars that way in 1971). I must comment that the kit supplied decals were terrific. No problems whatsoever. It's a fun kit. Highly recommended. 15
dragstk Posted Saturday at 11:57 PM Posted Saturday at 11:57 PM Congrats a very clean build. Good job!
Rattlecan Dan Posted Sunday at 12:54 AM Posted Sunday at 12:54 AM Very realistic-looking build. Real nice job.
6bblbird Posted Sunday at 01:23 PM Author Posted Sunday at 01:23 PM Thank you all! I always wanted to paint a car in Sublime or Lime light but never found the right subject. I don't really like green 😀 I really like this color now. Too bad that the enamel would not dry.  The Automotive lacquer worked really well . I'm thinking about doing a '70 Super Bee in this shade with white stripes! 1
Smitty Posted Sunday at 01:59 PM Posted Sunday at 01:59 PM Your Demon looks really good. I was on the fence about buying this kit but it sounds like a winner. I was wondering what brand of automotive lacquer you used?

I was wondering what brand of automotive lacquer you used? This is probably not the answer that you were looking for but...... The automotive paint that I use is custom made for me by an automotive paint shop. I give him the PPG code from online paint charts and he mixes up a batch and puts it in an aerosol can. Cost is around $30 per can but you can easily do 3 cars with 1 can. Maybe you have a local body shop supply store that can do the same thing for you?
espo Posted Sunday at 09:05 PM Posted Sunday at 09:05 PM Great looking paint color and finish. Like the factory style stripping and the rally wheels.Â
