M W Elky Posted December 7 Posted December 7 I’m guessing Color me gone with the wedge and red interior
gtx6970 Posted December 7 Author Posted December 7 (edited) good guesses but nope. A hint. The body is painted the color it's going to be. The car was restored, and semi actively campaigned up until a few years ago. Steppenwolf Edited December 7 by gtx6970

Brutalform Posted December 7 Posted December 7 I read somewhere that there is some type of tractor paint that is a pretty close match to the max wedge colors.

I normally use a paint from True Value I think it's called safety orange maybe The 1/ 1 color has much more yellow to it than this one. My ultimate goal looks like so Edited December 7 by gtx6970 2
MR. Macabre Posted December 7 Posted December 7 Regardless, if you're building any '64 Dodge Polara sedan with a Max Wedge or the HEMI, I look forward to seeing it once it's finished. 1 1

Brutalform Posted Tuesday at 12:39 AM Posted Tuesday at 12:39 AM Now that looks real sharp. Nice how two similar colors look that good together. Did you paint, or foil the door panels? 1

Did you paint, or foil the door panels? Simply taped up the entire seat / door panel . Then cut the areas I wanted darker with a sharp exacto blade. Sprayed the dark red right over the Italian red. Floor is done same way Silver accents on door panels is brush painted with flat aluminum and a new fine brush. door handles are fusion chrome Its not exactly what I was going for...but I can live with it.

Same exact paint ( Pumpkin orange from True Value ) Trans case shows it painted over grey primer Engine repainted over white primer and is much closer to the original light orange . Trans will be brush painted flat aluminum Edited Wednesday at 04:12 PM by gtx6970
