After painted black, applied clear coat once then put on decals.
applied clear coat yesterday. 2 more clear coat to go.
now, I'm thinking about interior color and rims.

here is repainted body pic.

to me the cherry red looked better

The black does seem a little, well, predictable. Seems as if every late 2nd gen Trans Am gets the "Smokey and the Bandit" treatment.

But I like the wheels and tires from before. Are they going to find their way back underneath this piece?

Looks Awesome again, Your a great modeller.
How do you paint your models. Do you do your paint job in 1 day. Is your paint job shiny before you ise clear coat.

What kind of paint do you use?

[kunta]

yes, I know black is boresome color for Trans Am. but I really like black Trans Am. that's all.

bah humbug, I paint once in 1 day.
I'm using Finisher's paints. these are Hobby Shop GT's products.
for hood, I used Finisher's urethane clear coat (pic #2).
urethane is clotting paint so it doesn't cause damage to decals.

If it looked that good before, and you feel the need to rebuild it, I can't imagine what level of perfection it's gonna be in. I'm not much of a domestic car guy but I have to give you props on the build,it's VERY nice.

BTW, who makes that "wine red"? I love that color. please don't tell me testors makes it.. tell me what I wanna hear.. TAMIYA!!!!
