68 GTO in Bahama Blue

[Porscheman]

I started this one at 8 am this morning. I painted it Dupli-color Bahama Blue Met. with Testors Wet Look Clear top coat. The interior was painted Tamiya Primer White with black carpeting. RWL tire's are from an AMT Parts Pak. This based on Monogram's 1/24 kit.

Thanks for looking.

No vent window's? Didn't the 68 have them, I know the 69 didn't.

[Porscheman]

Rick, I didn't know that either. This was an open kit I bought off eBay and there was parts and instructions missing.

I haven't seen too many of the 69 Judge kits converted to the 68 GTO version.   Anyhow very good job.

Does the paint dry that fast?

Thanks everyone. Ok, you want to know how I get my paint to dry so fast. 1st, I only use Tamiya, Testors Lacquers or Dupli-color rattle cans. 2nd, I use a floor heater right after I finish the primer coat, then color coat and then the Wet Look Clear. After the final 30 seconds for the clear I take it over to my floor fan for a minute. Wait a 15 minutes and polish it out with Novis #2. The total paint and polish, takes about 30 minutes. I've been doing this procedure for 10 years with excellent results. Hope this helps. Al Heater Hosted on Fotki Fan Hosted on Fotki
