toplessfury Posted July 24, 2010 Author Posted July 24, 2010 ok i got my paint scheme figured out and here it is. needs a little touch up yet now the bad.ive got to wait till the paint dries completly to fix the roof.
charlie8575 Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 That looks really good! I was wondering what you'd do for colors. I like it. Looks like a real late '70s emergency vehicle, that's for sure. Charlie Larkin
toplessfury Posted July 26, 2010 Author Posted July 26, 2010 thanks. its killing me to put the decals on it but ive got to wait just incase i have to strip it all again.
Railfreak78 Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 I like the direction your going with on the colors but before I saw the cracks in the second pic I thought the paint looked really thick on the roof. What did you use? I wonder why it cracked that bad. The build itself is awesome. Remember before stripping if you do so that the purple pond will remove body filler. If you have any on the roof I'd suggest sanding it. The style looks great.
toplessfury Posted July 26, 2010 Author Posted July 26, 2010 ive got a little putty on the doors but thats it.when i first painted the black i thought a hair was on it but when i came back......well you saw the pic.im leaving it alone for a bit then ill sand and see what needs to be done.
toplessfury Posted July 27, 2010 Author Posted July 27, 2010 well had to put the cab back in the purple pond and i start a new job tomorrow so maybe ill get to work on it this weekend.
Railfreak78 Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 Stinks to have to toss it in the pond but it's great to hear about the job. Congrates!!!
CrewDawg15 Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 Too bad about the paint. Look at the bright side...now you'll have a blank canvas to try something different Jimmy
toplessfury Posted July 28, 2010 Author Posted July 28, 2010 thanks guys.that just reminded me to get it out of the pond its been 2 years since i had a job due to knee surgery and my leg is killing me,but gotta work.
toplessfury Posted July 31, 2010 Author Posted July 31, 2010 well its out of the pond and am going to try the paint again.im going to do it a little different this time but still basically the same.should have it painted tomorrow if it doesnt rain.
toplessfury Posted August 1, 2010 Author Posted August 1, 2010 ok i got the yellow done but im not sure if i like it .i may repaint the hood black but then again i may go back to just a black roof. i also got the cable,chains and tail lights onto it
Railfreak78 Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 That thing is looking Great! The ramp part is really looking nice with those lights and the chains.
