  • Home paint job

    Well finally got the Wagonaire all one color, its temporary until I get it repainted Horizon Green
    Next is to paint the wheels off white instead of Red

    I used krylon outdoor Metallic for the temp job, but I think it looks better than the 2 tone white gold combo

    That's a big improvement! And I agree about the wheels- red wheels look great on lots of different cars and colors, but in your case I think changing to white will be much better[8D]

    Looking forward to seeing it with the wheels "did"... nothing like others living vicariously through your work, eh?

      I will probably do them tomorrow, as the fumes have me higher than a Kite[]

          5 cans [:0] It should last me until the summer then I will get it painted properly I also want to note that I picked the color to match the other gold metallic and I only painted from the moulding down, Id say its a pretty good match

                I'll add extra kudos- doing a good job with spray-bombs is a lost art[8D]

                  Johnny Bench would be PROUD! No drips, no runs and no errors. Great work.

                    Test on wheel color, i found a perfect match for this wacky interior so I had to try it out[]
                    I think off white will be in order

                      well the green was a bit over the top so I went with simple white


                      its starting to look more like a Studebaker

                        That is looking GREAT. I think you've made all the right moves for that car. Good work![8D]

                        That roof rack looks awful on there, though. You should get rid of that immediately!

                        And remember, don't litter- you can just send that rack to me, so you don't have to contribute to landfill overfilling

                            JLV--

                            That looks terrific...and you remind me, refreshing the off-white on the wheels is another thing I need to do on my 62.

                            I like the Dub City-esque lowered version too...two-tone and all. Would make a sharp diecast, just as pictured...

                              Wow, I look a couple times every day and didn't see it; but of course no search catches everything. If you find it I would be VERY interested!
