'49 Mercury

Got some paint on the Merc today, Luke's favorite color. Got some nasty scratches on the turret which I thought I fixed - I didn't, so tomorrow I'll have to rub it back and more primer. Then wait until the topcoat arrives from the hobby shop. Then I'll have a go at better photo's than I've just posted.

You can never go wrong with black. I love the depth of black when it is polished out.

The Merc should look good in black.

And the good news is, I went to work on it last night, and with Tamiya's polishing compounds got the scratches out of the roof, and its looking mighty fine  Now the rest of it........................

The only color is black, as far as I'm concerned. I keep picturing James Dean leaning on his black Merc in the movie "Rebel Without a Cause". So it has to be black.

Yeah, looks pretty slick, like a hockey rink. Black is by far the hardest to get right but it gives the biggest reward. Just don't polish through the black anywhere because you WILL see it.

Looking pretty sweet there Donny.  Yup, Luke sure knows how to lay down a nice paint job.
