Cheap Sunglasses Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) Hey there, i finally got a bit of time to post something ! So I'm working on this '68 dodge, decided to go with an old weathered look. good survivor car not to much rust and will have a number matching engine lol I painted the car with a metallic tan color form dupli-color. then did the weathering with oil paint, finished off with dullcote. and here's my progress so far.

charlie8575 Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 That paint needs some serious compounding! Very nicely done. Charlie Larkin
Sixgunner68 Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 Yeah, this forum is for model cars, not real ones. All kidding aside, you have some serious skills!!! These are the kind of builds that make me want to throw out all my kits and take up stamp collecting.
Jantrix Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 Whoa. Man I do love it when we get a new member and they bring that level of expertise to the table. That is insanely realistic work. Welcome to the forum.
1972coronet Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 Peter , your '68 R/T is so realistic that it's uncanny ! The way that the paint is 'bleached' (out here in the southwest , it's referred to as "sun bleached") on the roof , decklid and hood , is perfection ! Keep up the great work !
DrKerry Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 Love the weathering detail. Looking great so far....
geras24 Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 Wow I really like that paint job, looks great, congrats
Furiousgeorge Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 That's awesome work! The Charger is one of my personal favorite kits. How did you do the glass like that? I've always wanted to do a weathered build, and yours is very inspiring!
lower99 Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 This is lookin´bad......... ... But in a good way! Awesome work buddy!
tubbs Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 please send it to me and I will prime it and repaint it and make it look brand new......... i'm just jealous. one heck of a build so far, probably gonna look really crappy and worn when you get an interior and chassis under it.
Skydime Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 Wow that looks like the real thing!!!! Yep, that pretty much somes it up!
Monty Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 Welcome to our board! This may be one of the best weathered projects I've seen this year. I hope you'll favor us with engine, chassis & interior shots as well. Once this project's finished, maybe you could post a brief outline on your use of oil paints in our Tips, Tricks & Tutorials section.
