Re: 1957 Chevrolet Corvette S M Green

an uptdate now
i was shaking some water based paint
lid came off one and it got on my chevy
i cleaned off what i could see
but yes i missed some that ran down the boot/trunk
and it had dried so had to sand it
and repaint the bottom of the boot/trunk
looks like it had not been done

some pics with a bit off paint on it before i sanded more off




now the painted pics

Re: 1957 Chevrolet Corvette S M Green

Quite some time for a WIP, 8+ years. But in the end it's the finished product that counts and I bet this one will be a good one.

Keep it up and safe paintshaking .

Re: 1957 Chevrolet Corvette S M Green

Certainly off to a slow but good start... I would suggest taking the polishing pads to that paint though, there's quite a bit of orange peel you could get rid of...

Yeh, agreed, the finish could be smoother, but man it looks good with the chrome against the green. Keep it going.
