fnick got a reaction from popeye the sailor in 1965 Ford Mustang by fnick - FINISHED - Revell - 1:24 - PLASTIC
Cheers Craig that is not something I had thought of. Have to admit the challenge of doing it the hard way with paints is also appealing... Why make things simple when they can be complicated...😄
And thank you for your compliment.

Thanks for feedback. Good to know I'm not going about this the wrong way. Yes I did think of doing the white first but it was more of a "should have done the white first!" 😋

You could try buying an A4 size sheet of white water slide decal paper to cut and create the stripes. I have a stack of the decal paper from a company that has since gone out of business, but it's very opaque and works well for projects like this.
Your interior work came out very nice.

Small update. Seats paint and fitted in interior along with dash.
Car bonnet also painted. Need to start thinking about the two white stripes.plan is to use tape to mark stripes out and then start sanding carefully to remove gloss coat from red paint. Knowing that white doesn't have generally great coverage properties I'm thinking of putting down a coat of grey first to try and keep the number of coats down.
Might try it on car bonnet first so that if I need to strip the paint and start again at least it will be a small part!
Thanks for looking in.
Cheers

That looks like a model plane made out of metal. So thumbs up from me 👍

This is my first time also, and it's the first time for these powders as well, something completely new.
I'm expecting some blemishes, too much primer over fill to be perfect. She is dressed in black now and just put the first clear high gloss sealer coat on the top... My main fear is it orange peels rather than lays flat...
So at this point it is what it is... it either makes it or it doesn't......
Anyway, here are the shots, a long cool woman in a black dress.....
The gloss coat takes a couple of hours to cure before I can flip her over and do the bottom, I won't know how it turned out till tonight....
