Started the work on the body. Scribe the panel lines and cleaning all parts from silicone before painting.

One of the front seats, bitte!

I shall watch. Good looking car.

Thanks mates!

Also, like my Bel Air, i made some progress on the Olds.
The body is primered and on the C-Pillar came a moldingline. I sanded some more parts on the body with 400 wetpaper again (C-Pillars, left rocker, right door) and primered the body twice. After every layer i wet sanded the paint to get it smooth. I thought, they were gon, but after the first layer of paint...here they are again!
I dont know, why here and there came plastic thru, that looked like grindingmarks...

now, after wetsanding and - i think about four layers with sanding between - they are gone.

Also i painted the rest of the parts. Interior, chassis and all other parts.

I have had that as well when using automotive paints. My solution is a 2k primer or a lot of very thin layers, no wet ones

Looks interesting following

Worked a little bit.
painted the engine and transmission. i choosed the automatic trans.
after some layers of clear coat with wet sanding between, i'm fine with the result - without polish as always.

I love it, especially the red wheel drums- it was a factory option, isn't it? If I remember correctly, the GTO had the same...

Kyle DeHart
Nice color choice

Dominik Weitzer Autore
Thank you Kyle, Istvtán.
If I researched about the red wheel houses, it was included on the 442 option

Villiers de Vos
Flawless.

Wow...Two years ago the last update. And i hadn't in mind, that i made a WIP from this Beautyful Olds. Now i have to search, if i made some pictures from the progress...

Nice paint job! Do you have any recommendations for achieving this glossy lacquer look with acrylic paints and varnish?
