bluestringer Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 I started this one a while back, messed up the paint and put it aside to build the Trans Am. Now I'm back on it. I had first went with Testor's Gloss Red acrylic but I messed it up. I have now stripped it and went with Testor's Gloss Teal Enamel. I've built a couple of these in the past but never the coupe. This will be a box stock build. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
customline Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 A "Resto-Rod"? Color is appropriate. This kit has some nice choices for suspension, engine , wheels, etc. It's one of their best. I'm following ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluestringer Posted September 15, 2023 Author Share Posted September 15, 2023 I painted the interior parts with Tamiya Sea Blue. It looks almost flat black though. Chassis is done, engine installed. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluestringer Posted September 19, 2023 Author Share Posted September 19, 2023 Put on some flames, and sprayed on some Tamiya x-22 clear. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 When I get around to my own kit, I intend to sand off that roof panel. I never did care for that (on the real cars.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomicholiday Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 The flames look pretty cool. Kinda give it a 60's or early 70's vibe. I have one of these started somewhere. I need to dig it out and get going with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

customline Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 The coupe looks great, James. I would loose the hood or just the side's since you are aflame now and you will show off that nice engine. Also, I was wondering about using Tamiya clear over Testor's enamel. It's a combination I have been apprehensive about. ? apparently you've had no problems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yea I think it would look better without the sides. I've used Tamiya clear over Testor's enamel a few times and never had a problem. On 9/23/2023 at 11:15 AM, slusher said: Nice flames, James!

Roadrunner Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 What did you use as primer for that Teal? I sprayed mine (bought as a result of your choice) over both black and light grey primer, and like both, even though they are distinctly different from each other.
