'61 Ford Ranchero

[Wheels]

AMT's '61 Ford Ranchero kit. I have lowered both the front and rear. Then added custom wheels and tires from Revell's '67 Chevelle kit. It will get a two-tone paint job of grape and silver. The front and rear bumpers will be painted silver also. The interior will be purple and silver. There is also a resin hood from Drag City Casting.

I did some painting over the weekend and here is what I have so far. Tell what you think.

It's grape over silver two-tone.

What's the best way to clean up the line between the two colors?

Should I clear coat first or what?

Just looking for some advice. Thanks.

The seperation line looks pretty clean to me. I don't see what clean-up at the color split line you would need to do.

The Purple.........I hope the camera and or my moniter make it look that way; it looks Lavander in the pics.

Here is the Ranchero outside. The grape enamel looks darker than my previous photo.

Hoping to finish the interior this weekend.

I'm not one to give advice but I have an idea.What if you hand painted a pinstripe on the seperation line?Blue

It looks killer in the sun! I have no doubt it will be spectacular when finished.

oversteer has a good idea, and I hope he allows me to expand on it some. A very vivid (electric) blue stripe seperating just the top split might bring both colors to life and add a little more visual 'pop' to the overall scheme.
