This was a quicky week-long build, taking a break from Drag Car Contest project... Several of you said leave it the way it is, several of you said put clear over the gold... I think I shoulda done clear :banghead: ... the gold was great, all by itself, unfortunately while putting the model together, I got fingerprints on it... not a big deal, cleaner wax should fix it? No.... they're in there for good, for some reason. I scrubbed rather vigorously with Mother's Detailing Cleaner Wax to no avail.... anyway overall still a nice build, and the paint still looks great unless you're right up close... but I think I'll try a clear coat next time :uhoh:

Built box stock exhaust for plug wires. Paint is Tamiya Gold, interior Tamiya gloss black.

PS - oops, and I just realised I haven't painted the marker lights yet :rofl:

Thats some sweeeet work!

Great work...love them mopars.....Loosk mighty fine in gold IMHO.Dont be discouraged. Great work on the metal foil. Im still trying to work up the courage to try that.

so whats next in line in the project bin

Very nice. I'm not liking the brushed engine bay though. I've used Krylon Flat Black for interiors, and it looks really good.

Muhahaha, I guess my trim skills are better than I thought. That's not metal foil, I SUCK at bare metal foil :lol2: That's just silver paint and a steady hand.

Next in the bin is a '69 Hurst-Olds 455...

paint still looks nice, nice build

That color is great!! Awesome job!!

Looks teriffic.Clearcoat over any metallic paint would be S.O.P.All automotive manufacturers do,and so do painters in the 1to1 world.

Nice job!!
