Porscheman Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) When I was in high school, there were two brother who each had 69 Nova SS's. One was black and the other was red with a black vinyl top. So here's my rendition of the red one. Paint is Tamiya Italian Red, no clear coat, Tamiya Clear Blue window tint and the vinyl top is masking tape painted semi gloss black and BMF. The only thing I don't like are the Firestone RWL tires, they should be Goodyear's, but I didn't have any. Oh well Let me know what you think. Thanks for looking.

Skydime Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Masking tape? That top looks pretty sweet! How in the world did you get it to contour that well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks everyone for your nice comments. Ken if you use Frog Tape it's green sold at Home Depot. It's more flexible than the blue or other masking tapes, doing contours with Frog Tape is made easy and all paint cover very well. Hope this helps.

realgone58 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Beautiful job on the top. I'll have to try the Frog tape method. I've got to build one of these for a friend that had a 1:1, and it has a vinyl top. Hope I can get mine half as good as yours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
