76 Black Caprice

[Scalper]

I decided to put some color on the body today. I asked my wife what color should this car be and she said Black.

The paint is testors one coat lacquer blazing black

Interior will be green.

Thanks for looking.

These Caprices always look good in any color.

I like the black and the shine, great job..

Hello fellow Builders.

Since I am waiting for warmish weather.

Did so more work on this beast.

The black metallic is an interesting choice. I have to say it looks pretty good on that car.

What did you use for the green interior? It comes very close to my eye to the olive green interior GM was using in the early-mid 1970s.

Thanks Charlie, I will attempt to remove the bmf sticky stuff today.. but due to my poor budget I will try again with the cheap bmf.
