customline Posted April 12 Posted April 12 Matt, I don't know how skillful you are at that sort of detail painting but if I had a good paint job on my Packard, I, personally, would not chance it. If you can pull it off, cleanly, it would be a big hit at the next show, for sure. That roadster is a show-stopper. 1
Gustavo Reis Posted April 12 Posted April 12 I paint the red first and use a fine masking tape before the white paint. 4

I do still need to paint door handles brass though but i think it looks great so far. What do you think 4

Nice to see some vintage cars being built too ! I agree. Very precise work i spent all together 4 hours i think doing the red trimwork. Thank you! I am interested in the early cars.
