Re: AMG SL65 Black Series

Hey Guys!

Its been awhile since my last update but have managed to get a few things done & also downloaded the Photobucket iPhone app which makes it so easy to upload photos!!

So...
I wet sanded the clearcoat to get a better surface to apply the final clearcoat but ended up sanding through the clearcoat & colour layer in a few little places, so I airbrushed a few light coats of purple over the top & have since clearcoated & the results are amazing!!!

I Love the way this car looks with a Matte finish, but this colour Really needs a glossy clearcoat




Boring old dashboard



Brakes - I used the Photoetched set & looks pretty good. But there isnt too much point in adding the centre hub with the "clips" because the plastic part has the detail & looks better!!



The Wheels

The one on the left is finished & the one on the right still has the paint on the spokes. I airbrushed Tamiya Acrylic Semigloss black then used a cotton swap with acrylic thinners t remove paint from the face of the spoke. Looks great!!
Will have some more pics tomorrow!
Thanks
