Re: Nova SS 327
Thanks, now it's time to make the body look less good and more like the real car was.
I started knocking down the shine and removing some of the depth with wet 2000 grit sandpaper. (Yes, only a few hours after painting it with Testors enamel.) The hood is how shiny the paint was before sanding for comparison. It also shows how the blue looks lighter after sanding. |

Re: Nova SS 327
Awesome! I love the weathered look & extra "shoddy" detailing! Very realistic!

Re: Nova SS 327
I started to grub up the bumpers and grille.
If the plate TSN 662 seems at all familiar it is because it was included in the R/M ’67 Corvette Coupe kit. I chose to use the plates off my Nova when I drew the decal art for that kit. These plates are only a little different from what came in the Corvette and the annual tags are for 1983, not ’67. |

Re: Nova SS 327
I sanded the entire body with 2000 in a very similar way I’d polish out a “good” paint job, but with no worries of accidentally sanding through an edge. In this case I purposely sanded through the metallic blue to the light blue in some places (on the hood, front fender side peaks and rear quarter panels mostly so far) to make the paint look worn through. I’ll add some metal shades and rust once I get the paint worn appropriately.
