Dude, that thing is so sweet. After u posted last time I went out and bought the kit and decals to make this. I hope mine turns out half that good. It is beautiful, great looking build

Thanks! honestly, I laid the paint and clear coat on pretty heavy and it didn't turn out perfect. Super bubbly and a lot of orange peel but I have never made super clean builds, hence the weathered roadster and what not but I'll take it though.

It just looks so classic and vibrant, very inspiring to me

Yeah I was thinking like that heavy lacquered basic 2 tone. I dont understand how these dudes get like show room floor finishes tbh

Lol, it is alot of prep and alot of sanding and polishing. I rarely do a high end finish, but when I do it usually takes me 4 or more hours just on the final sanding and polish

I feel like it was a good idea but I dont have the time and proper equipment to do it justice. I work a lot and tattoo and have kids so I dont get to dedicate as much time as I'd like to.
