This is my '67 Chevelle SS396 with polished light blue metallic plastic and a matching interior. The engine is wired and plumbed. The kit wheels were replaced with a set of Cragar SS mags and the tires have Shabo Tire Graphics.

I thought polished plastic would never look this good, but you proved me wrong. Nice work with the Chevelle overall. I like the wheels and tires and your detailing is very sharp looking in the engine bay, too. Maybe slight black wash to the panel lines would make it even better, but anyway it looks fantastic just like that, too!

Thanks guys!

The body looks amazing, did you clean up mold lines then just start polishing?

Yes, I did. The body was molded in color with very few flaws and I liked the color, so why bother painting if only than to change the color?

In the past, I have tried to darken panel lines with less than satisfactory results. I chose not to darken the panels lines until I can get a better grip on darkening them.

Thank you guys!

Very clean Chevelle. I had no idea you could get such nice result from only polish the body.

Just as long as the colored plastic has no swirls or marks in the plastic, you can polish it to a very nice shine.
