I know that but the humidty was over 70 % in the basement today and I have a dehumidifer going alos and I always clear my models this gives the body a much deeper finishe look to the body once I set sand them out.

Either redlines or white letter would be sweet. White walls, not so much.

Hi again,

I had sometime to get a few thing done to the Torino over the past few day. I have the body parts all finished and barefoiled the shock towers painted in satin black as for the interior I went with white so I painted the headlinner seats and doorpannels in white.I then painted the engine block heads and intake ford engine blue the trans was painted in aluminum.As for the rims I painted then in saint black and for the center caps I used red for this. The grill was painted in black and then I used a paper towel for cleaning the excess paint off the grill.I also used red for the center of the grill that runs vertical on the grill.I still have to barefoil the window cranks and door handles to.Well here are the pics and more to post in the next day or two thanks for looking to.
