1966 Rivi

[speedy5963]

Hello all, I started tinkering around with this a few weeks ago and it initially started out with HOK White pearl base shot on it but there were a few issues with some of the emblems I removed. I worked them over some and went with the HOK bittersweet pearl being a little darker and knowing it would cover with less coats. There was still a few small issues so I decided I would build this as if it was in progress. I primered the trouble spots on the front fenders and the whole decklid and misted some black over to act as a guide coat. I will not clear, just leave the base and put the bare metal around the windows, should be an interesting build.

Well, against my prior judgement, I decided to go ahead and do the body work and get this thing in one color and cleared. Glad I did as it came out pretty solid. It will need some knocking down and rubbing but I think it will come out pretty nice overall. The color is HOK Bittersweet Pearl with PPG 3000 Clear. I've got the interior pieces shot in HOK snowwhite Pearl and will hopefully get some work in tomorrow on this. I will keep you guys posted.

Thank you for the comment, I wasn't going to go through and finish it, just leave the trouble areas in primer you know and finish the model as an in progress car, but couldnt leave it alone. Got some stuff for the inside and chassis done today, will try to post pics once its set well.
