Draggon Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 What a fantastic looking Monza. This is just plain bad! As far as the color, I like red! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gray07 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 very nice car, i like yellow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miatamadman Posted December 10, 2010 Author Share Posted December 10, 2010 Getting down to the final body work, then on to paint booth. Hood vents are now OPEN! The rear end is getting a little modification as well by blending the bodywork around the mufflers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whale392 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Very sexy. Bodywork like that just begs for a paintjod to accentuate its' angular form. Something dark and sinister (Blood Red Pearl, Anthracite/Black Pearl) with the wheel faces done up in Slate Gray sounds nice. Awesome Monza.

miatamadman Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 Wow! Found my thread on page 10 appears as if though I've been slacking. This project has been stalled since I wasn't quite sure how to paint it....but I now have good idea as to what I'm going to do. Colors will a little bit of red, some white and a lot of blue with the graphics being a slight twist on a production car graphic....Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I wonder what it could be......

Danno Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Looking so good, Zoli! Color? Your choices sound good, although I was going to recommend ... fire engine red. There. I said it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxer Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Somehow I missed the start of this build, and what a build it is! Fantastic work and it feels like it going on in a 1:1 shop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miatamadman Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 Today I took a large step backwards with this build. The paint job got screwed up so it's off to the stripper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Wicked build! Hope you can get some paint on this successfully (I hate when the paint doesn't work out! I had that recently happen on a build, too). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miatamadman Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 Finally, the second time around, we've got a paint job! I ended up going with different colors than I originally planned on. I've got a little bit of touch up to do before the clear goes on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pharr7226 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Nice masking job on the paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miatamadman Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 I actually painted this in reverse. I first shot the silver, masked off the stripes, shot the green then the red. I was going cross eyed while masking those stripes and trying to keep everything straight. I also found out, while masking the stripes, that the louvers on the hood are not exactly centered on the hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

george 53 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Zoli, I'm so used to your Fire Trucks, I OFTEN wondered what you could do with a car. I've seen a few of your auto builds, but THIS rascal TAKES the cake! I have that old Revell kit, and a few AMT Monzas, but MINE DON'T look like THAT!!! EXCELLENT JOB, my freind!!!!
