Thanks to Kristofer Diaz for the use of his paint booth, I finally was able to paint! Yes this truck was for my build off and such but I really wanted to build this π First of all I planned a green metallic but been seeing a lot of green lately and John painted his green so I though this was metallic lilac and itβs not. But it is on and I am not done painting. Roof and some of interior will get pearl white and clear coated, polished out as well. My eyes are worse than 12yrs ago so I maybe wonβt have as clean work but will see!

Nice! Is that Tamiya Lavender? thanks yeah it is. this might end up with a pearl white interior to break it up. the roof will have pearl white.

Love how that looks with those wheels dude, thanks! I do too, can't wait to get the second color on everything. it should go pretty smoothly, I build mostly vintage kits and tend not to detail the crap out of them with wires and stuff just like the nostalgia of it. but the curb appearance is what I strive for in the old ones!

Oh YESSSS! EXCELLENT look man! I bet your gonna go white or silver roof. Maybe a Watson fade effect? Hint hint.... π Wheels look spot on and the stance is right to my eye!

as many years as it's been, for me to actually get something done is such a big deal to me so thank you!
I did some brainstorming the last few days and came up with a solution for the roof. TBA
I think I am going to put some scratch built bellflowers on this thing. I can't remember if I posted that I figured out how to make them form tubing and not get craases, kinks or splits. I did though!

progress kinda? I went to Hobbytown and got two cans of paint Mica Silver and Semi Gloss Black. My goal is/was to get the mica silver shot today, but it started hailing and it's raining.
I only have outside and the weather isn't permitting.

I just did a mock up to get a vision. This is not completely painted or cleared, let alone polished yet. The roof will be silver flake with metallic matching lavender lace panels. The stance will probably be a little higher but I plan on going lower than the chassis allows. The interior will have silver flake dash and two tone door panels and will see how it all goes. I will be adding scratch built Bellflowers from aluminum tubing that I figured out how to make without kinks, creases or cracks in the bends! I will do step by step when time allows. Just wanted to let ya know I am still on this just slowly easing back to building. The glass is nice but I have to polish it out as well. Thanks for looking not much progress but I touched this today lol
