I bought this AMT Riviera for $15.00 off ebay. It was brush painted flat black primer with red finish coats. I had to soak it in Purple Power for a week to get all the paint off. All the chrome was redone using BMF. I repainted this one using Tamiya's grey primer, Tamiya's Mica Silver with Testors wet look clear top coat. The interior was done with Tamiya's flat light blue and the windows were tinted using Tamiya's clear blue. All painting was done using rattle cans. I also change the wheels to the Buick mags.

All in all, a very rewarding restoration.

Thanks for looking.

Al

A '63 Riv is on my to-acqure list.

This one looks great, Al. I like the color combination and someday, I'll learn how to make those tinted windows come out right.
