bluestringer

The purple stuff seems to be slowly taking it off. May take a few days, but I'm no hurry, too cold to paint in my shed anyway. Has anyone used Testors Glosscote Spray Lacquer?

If I can get this body sorted out I've got some Wicked Colors Phathalo Green I'm going to try on it. Not sure what clear I'll use though. Does Createx make a clear?

I finally got the Camaro together, but it's not right. May have been something I did wrong somewhere. The Mustang would not fit all the way down on the chassis and I can't find what's holding it back. I may take out the glass and see if that's it.

Got it in the pond now, will see what it does. I actually have another one of these kits, but I was going to build it different than this one. May have to use it now.

The weather was good, don't think that was the problem. I started out putting on a light coat, then went back over it with a heavier coat. It looked like it was going to level out, then did that. Maybe I'll just leave it like that and call it gator skin green. Not sure if the purple pond will take it off. I don't think I can sand it out.

This is what I used. But I had also used it on the 97 Mustang which was painted with Createx Transparent Red over a black base. It did fine with that.

Something went wrong with my clear.....what do I do now.......start over? I used this Rustoleum lacquer on another body before this one and it turned out great, Don't know what happened.

Thanks. I'll be using Rustoleum clear lacquer.

I'm going to try foiling some of the trim work this week but was wondering if I should put on the clear before or after foiling.

Thanks Chaz. Thank you.

Looks great. Nice work.

Thanks. I like the craft paints also.

Thanks. I will.

The weather warmed enough so I was able to get in my work shed and get a little done. I finished the engine, headers will go on during the chassis build, and got some painting done. The body is Createx Pearl Green, the interior will be a lighter shade using Ceramcoat Wedgewood Green. Still have to put on the clear. I'll let it sit for a couple days.

Looks great. Nice work. Always did like that show.

I saw yours, it looks great.

Looks great. Nice work.

Thanks. Those are the kit wheels. I shot some metallic aluminum on them. I think they will look good once the paint is on the body.

It certainly turned out nice Mike. Looks great. I like the Pro Street look.

My last 2 builds have been disasters. The 69 Camaro and the 97 Mustang. Both were going good up until the body to chassis install. Could not get either one to fit, I was just breaking off stuff trying to get them right. I'm moving on to something else. This is the AMT 55 Chevy kit. I hope the body to chassis fit is better. I know most of these are done in a two tone paint job, but I'm going a different route. It will be one color from top to bottom, probably Createx Pearl Green. It will also have minimal chrome trim. Two reasons I'm going this way, first I saw one on the internet that was one color and thought it looked great that way, also I'm not good at masking and spraying a two tone paint. The one I saw also had only the main chrome on it, and I do not have enough foil to do it all anyway. I will be going slow with this build as I think I have been rushing my builds too much. All comments are welcome.

Thanks Chaz.

Looks great. Nice work.

Looking good. That stance is great, that's the way we done them back in the day.

Looking great. Nice work on the dash and interior.

No more updates on this one. I'll post some photos in under glass when it's done.
