AMT chevy Nomad 55 take 1 and 2

[happy grumpy]

This was build a few years ago. I painted it two tone green. Nothing added except BMF. Fast forward last year I was  moving some of my models to a new glass cabinet so I left this one on the coffee table while I was cleaning the glass. I had the windows opened and a gentle summer draft nicely spread some overspray from my Windex bottle all over my Nomad, it ruined the paint instantly by leaving spots on the paint. I tried polishing compound, wax , no luck. So I did what I do when a paint job goes wrong. I disassembled it and in the purple pond it went. I re painted it to something similar to the 53 ford I did earlier since I had some paint left. The first 3 photos are before the re paint. I wanted a lighter color this time.

thanks for looking.

Very nice, Mario - interesting to see a Nomad with blackwall tires.

They look great. And love your photo backgrounds.

Nicely done both of them!

GO MANGO !..... that's what that color looks like to me, Mario. Remember those Mopar colors? Really nice combo with black, quite striking. ? I think I need to be more careful with Windex ?. I love those backgrounds too, they look absolutely real! I'd hate to have to pay your Evergreen bill.☺️

Yeah, the ole double nickel Nomad looks good in both colors Mario.  Nice recovery.  Can't believe the mist from the Windex did that to the paint. I use Windex all the time in the garage, and I thin my acrylic paints with it.

They both looks great!!
