Fisher61 Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Just put the finishing touches on this GTO. Painted with Duplicolor, holes for axles filled and re-drilled to position the wheels in the wheelwells correctly. All panel lines were scribed deeper, added missing lines on the cowl that separate fenders. Added rear view mirror from Monogram '64 GTO. No wiring or any extras under the hood, just built the engine out of the box. Thanks for looking!
RodneyBad Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Looks Great. Paint and top looks great too. Nice work.. Must be a really early issue since the headlights don't have that bug eye look.
Guest Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 That is drop dead gorgeous! What color is it? How did you do the pinstripe?
charlzrocks Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Nice Job!! I am digging the tach bubble and I love the Candy Blue!! Where do they sell Duplicolor paint? Is it a rattlecan? I live out in the middle of nowhere, tried Testors and it sucked!
george 53 Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Bill, VERY,VERY nice build. Back inna day, one of my MUCH older sisters had a boyfriend who had the REAL thing! Same color,interior,wheels! Always liked that car,He did too, caz he had a 66 that was a darker Blue with a black interior before that one!
kyledr330 Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Great looking GTO, You made a really nice looking car from a poor kit, great job!
Lyn Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 I love that color! great job, it sure is pretty
Harry P. Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Where do they sell Duplicolor paint? Is it a rattlecan? I live out in the middle of nowhere, tried Testors and it sucked! Duplicolor is "real car" touch-up paint, it's sold at auto parts stores (and sometimes Walmart).
Harold Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Great job on an old kit. The paint is great, and you've really nailed the look of a late sixties street fighter.
MrObsessive Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Bill, you've tackled a somewhat dubious kit and turned it into a real gem! Excellent paint and detail as usual!
juergen Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 hi !!! very very nice !!! you do a so nice job on the gto !!! the color looks great !!! greets juergen
charlzrocks Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Duplicolor is "real car" touch-up paint, it's sold at auto parts stores (and sometimes Walmart). Any specific parts stores you can think of? We got most of em down here,,,,,,,,,,, I love the candy blue paint job he did on this one........looks flawless!
MrObsessive Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 Charles, if you have a Pep Boys check them out. That's where I got the paint for my Cougar II build a while back.
Janne Herajärvi Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 Very nice color and paint job! GREAT
Fisher61 Posted November 12, 2009 Author Posted November 12, 2009 That is drop dead gorgeous! What color is it? How did you do the pinstripe? Lee, to do a pinstripe like this I masked it off with some Pactra thin line masking tape, brushed over it with Testors clear lacquer to seal the tape to keep the white paint from bleeding under the masking, the brushed Testors white paint over the mask.

I live out in the middle of nowhere, tried Testors and it sucked! Duplicolor is "real car" touch-up paint, it's sold at auto parts stores (and sometimes Walmart). Thanks for all the kind words guys! As Harry stated, it's automotive touch-up paint, it is a lacquer and is very easy to use. It's very forgiving and dries quick and polishes up quite nice. I purchased mine at O'Reilly auto parts, I don't know if they are in your area or not.
Harry P. Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 Duplicolor paints are carried by most, if not all, the national auto parts chains... O'Reilly's, Pep Boys, NAPA, etc. Here in the Chicago area Walmart also carries a limited supply, but you'll get the widest color selection at an auto parts store. And there's always the online suppliers...
Guest Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 We know it's Duplicolor, but what color is it?
Fisher61 Posted November 12, 2009 Author Posted November 12, 2009 We know it's Duplicolor, but what color is it? Sorry Lee, I should have told that in the original post. It's Duplicolor Truck, Van and Suv 11oz can T401 Bahama Blue UPC # 26916 90401.
Guest Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 LOL, thanks. Is it close to any actual factory color in 66 or 67?
Fisher61 Posted November 12, 2009 Author Posted November 12, 2009 LOL, thanks. Is it close to any actual factory color in 66 or 67? It's close to '67 Pontiac Tyrol Blue, might be a shade darker. http://ultimategto.com/1967/67_00266_1.jpg

Is that a "Candy" or "Transparent" paint or is it opaque? I got O'Reillys here 'bout 25 miles from me........
Fisher61 Posted November 13, 2009 Author Posted November 13, 2009 Is that a "Candy" or "Transparent" paint or is it opaque? I got O'Reillys here 'bout 25 miles from me........ It's a blue metallic paint, I forgot to add that I polished and cleared it.
