Gregg Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 I was thinking of going two-tone, black on top, the purple on the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vizio93 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I was thinking of going two-tone, black on top, the purple on the bottom. Hey man i think that that would be a sweet combination. would you also paint the hood black, or maybe just the scoop ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Kren Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Yes very nice so far and the wheels set it off! Hey what color is that anyways? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregg Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 I went two-tone, black on top. The hood is from Mike's Speed Shop: From the December 2008 issue: "Mike’s Scale Speed Shop has a new resin hood for the Revell ‘69 Nova. Based on a Corvette 427-style hood scoop, this hood fits perfectly on the Revell kit. It retails for $5.00 plus shipping and handling. Check out Mike’s web site at MikesScaleSpeedShop.com for this and other great resin products, decals, and accessories for your builds." Bob Dudek posts here and can be seen whenever there is a full moon. (just kidding, Bob, you know I love yah!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregg Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 Bad news. The Nova is taking a bath. That's not a good thing It's in 91% rubbing alcohol, not the kind I like... So, while it was in there, decided to strip off all markers, etc. Will paint again today or morrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buildsince93 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 that sucks what happened it was lookin real good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregg Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 Nah, it's easy to do again this time right it didn't smell right either I don't think I let the silver base dry enough before the purple went on. Live and learn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Mikrut Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I know what you are sayin bout the smell Gregg. When they're gassin out, it's almost like you can still smell both paints. One time I had applied it so soon, I could rub the top coat off down to the silvercoat, which was also still gassin out and I could smell it crazing the plastic! But now I'm hearing you are using alcohol for a paint stripper? Will it do silver and gold? I always have trouble stripping those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
