Steve_L Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 These are pictures of my 1969 Pontiac GTO mild custom. I built it from a vintage (1982) Monogram GTO Judge kit and used the engine, 5-speed transmission, wheels and tires from the Revell/Monogram 1991 Pontiac Firebird Formula. It features a mild de-chroming (including the rear bumper) and molded front and rear bumpers. I used Duplicolor white primer, Testors one-coat purple-licious color coat and Duplicolor clear. I polished it with 3200, 4000, 6000, 8000 and 12000 pads. I used Novus #'s 3, 2 and 1 polish. As an experiment, I applied Turtle Wax ICE detail treatment. The interior is painted with Krylon Short Shots Iris color covered with a coat of Krylon Matte clear. I used Bare Metal Foil and paint to detail the interior. Enjoy!
