Looks good to me. The wheels need toned down with a few drops of water mixed with water base black paint. Just wash it in the wheels and wipe it up should do it.You can also buy a similar product called "The Detailer" black wash. I use it on all my wheels to give that deep realistic look. Other than that, good work.

What's already been said Nick, Testors makes a botled turn signal amber and either stoplight red or metallic red, which are great for markers and turn signals. Use a silver base, or foil, under them. Good work buddy.

She needs to sit lower... too much space visible above the tires. That added to what others here have said will put that back on track. You're almost there.

You need to paint the front side marker lights amber, not red, and rear-view mirrors.

well Harry unless someone has mirrors for me, I'm kinda at a lose there, I've got the gold decals for the mirrors. actually the rear marker lights are red on This year of F body Pontiac, but yes I do on the front.

Joe- How'd you guess that.

In the center, not towards the outside (to a degree).

Haha I know, just pointing out in a way that on your wheels you painted the openings gold (where it should be black), and the center is still silver.

you ever try to paint lug nuts that small on wheels that small?

Nick, just use a sharpened toothpick dipped VERY shallow in some silver paint an just touch it to the lugs, an that should do it! Looks good though, even without Sally an Burt!!!biggrin.gifwink.gif

That's how I did it George :)

Try this:

Use a black, fine point permanent ink marker to blacken the BOTTOM of each opening in the wheels "honeycombs". This should not be confused with the sides, that you already pained gold. That will give the wheels some much needed depth.
