geetee66 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Here's one I built a year or two ago. It's basically box-stock, with a PE harness, steering wheel and Dzus fasteners.. I decided to match the box-art and when I build the SoffSeal 57 Chevy version which I have waiting for me on the shelf, I'll add a lot more detail. I hope you like it And an alu tube driveshaft..

geetee66 Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 beautiful! nice and clean. what color and type of paint did you use? Thanks for the comments, everyone! Al, I used rattle-can paint (I've not got around to investing in an airbrush/compressor yet) The paint is Rover Tara Green Metallic, from a store here called Halford's. I topped it with clear and wet-sanded it, before giving it a jolly good rub with polish. I stand in my back yard, hold the object at arm's length and hit it with warmed-up paint. 4-5 coats of colour at 15 minute intervals. First couple of coats are light and the final one is wet. Same with the clear. I find this reduces orange peel quite well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know about the warming of the paint, just too lazy to run upstairs and warm it up, and it shows on my paint jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
