slusher Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 What a sharp car to build Ken. I enjoy your w.i.p.'s so you know I will be watching...
cobraman Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 Cool project. I will keep my eye on this one.
Kennyboy Posted December 22, 2014 Author Posted December 22, 2014 Sorry no pictures yet guys........I have been working on removing mold lines and smoothing in the Z28 SS hoodscoop.......the two hoods are a totally different contour hence the issues but it is looking great so far though. Pics soon! Thanks for following!
Kennyboy Posted December 23, 2014 Author Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) Here ya go guys! Started laying down the white base coats......black plastic is quite difficult to cover with white primer! Going to need to wetsand the white base to smooth it out enough for continued dustings of white in preparation for the White Pearl coats. Oh yeah, pay no mind to the upper part of the windshield frame......the last of the crack that was down the entire roof. I have pinned/glued it and will fix it up later.

Tom Geiger Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 That makes for one good looking convertible! Nice work so far!
Kennyboy Posted December 31, 2014 Author Posted December 31, 2014 Thank you guys! Got some more work done on it......Wetsanded two more times over two days, basecoated white lacquer, dusted with HOK Silver Pearl (with gold pearl mixed in), and shot with three layers of clearcoat. Tomorrow will be wetsand again down to 12000 grit and then polish. Thank goodness it is Pearl White now!! Couldn't get the pearl to "pop" on camera due to no ambient light (night time shots) but you kinda get the idea. Looks awesome in person!
hgbben Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Looks great. In the last pic you can tell there is pearl in the paint.
Roadrunner Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 Looks awesome in person! Looks real good in absentia too.
DrKerry Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 HOK silver pearl eh??? I know a certain project that would look good on too!!!!! Lexus is looking good Ken!!!
Kennyboy Posted December 31, 2014 Author Posted December 31, 2014 This was a test piece for that paintjob Kerry. GREAT looking color! (Oh yeah, I have your headlights done too.) Thank you Ben and Kevin.
Kennyboy Posted December 31, 2014 Author Posted December 31, 2014 Looking good! Beautiful car! Thank you Fabrizio! It was always one of my favorites!
Kennyboy Posted January 1, 2015 Author Posted January 1, 2015 So the test was done over a white base??? Yes sir.
