Zed Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Here is my latest attempt at panel paint job ! I had to try on a 49 merc, a car that was way to old in the late 50's in the paneling craze !
Lunajammer Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Now that is crispy. Nice dio too. Pretty convincing in the sunlight.
Jantrix Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Here is my latest attempt at panel paint job ! I love how humble this guy is. "Attempt", he says. Awesome work Zed, as usual.
Dr. Cranky Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Another masterpiece, ZED. Great work, and I love the fact you put your skills to one of my favorite kits, the 49 Merc. Another gem in your collection. Congrats.
Starliner Kustoms Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 One of the best builds I have seen of this by far.....
W-409 Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Really nice job!!! It would be very hard to say, is that real or model. Maybe those garage doors show that it's a model, but that Mercury is really nicely built. Paintjob looks very cool, colors are perfect and it's very shiny. Painting those golden areas, was it hard to do...? Great wheel and tire choice, this is truly Old School, and Old School IS Cool. Nice job on the Mercury, great stance too.
kingiguana Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Very, very nice work !! Nice dio also, although I'd suggest Evergreen has some grooved plastic that would improve those doors. I think that would make that dio so much more convincing. And one more thing, looks like the owner needs some Roundup on those weeds poking though the drive ! :-)
crazyjim Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Whew! Fantastic paint job. Nice and SHINY :) How about more pics of the dio too.
Danny Lectro Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Excellent. I really like the paint scheme, it works really well with the lines of the car.
deathskull59 Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 very cool who says a 49/50 merc is to old for a late 50s panled paint job. cuz it looks good to me. nice work on that merc.
saltflat1 Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 Off the hook beautiful I wish my paint skills were even close to that. NICE
LAWDOG Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 wish i could attempt a panel paint job like that, looks awsome!
Mooneyzs Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 That is one beautiful '49 Merc.... You did an awesome job on this. I do have to ask what color did you lay down first and what type of paint did you use on this. It is just gorgeous!!
bsoder Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 "HONEY I SHRUNK THE HOUSE" ...man that is a fine lookin' Merc....
Jon Cole Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Boy, is that sharp! When I saw your name, I opened this... because I knew it was going to look awesome.
Sixties Sam Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 A beauty! Probably the best 49 Merc I've seen. The paint work is excellent. I like the diorama, too. I thought the first photos were of a real car you were copying! Sam
my80malibu Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 I would have to agree with Sixties sam on this one, very Nice paint.
