When I did my last 57 ford I had painted the body with HOK Solar Gold and was going To paint it with HOK Kandy Rootbeer. So when I brought that first body back out I started shooting the Rootbeer and didn't like it. So I brought Out Cocoa Pearl and shot the lower body with that. I then shot the roof with Cinnamon Pearl. Been waiting for those colors to Gas out before I shoot some clear on it. So this is as far as I got. Got this out and working on it with my 51 Chevy Kustom.

Getting the seats closer to being done. I have found out that the colored craft paint takes a little longer to dry and gets less bubbles in it. The seats were painted with duplicolor primer and found some imperfections. Cleaned those up and will finish sanding the door panels and will hit them with primer. Interior will be white with brown piping.
