A bit more progress. Got some primer on the body. Waiting for it to warm up so I can paint. Version 6 of the mirror bracket seems to be workable so I'll whip up some PTEG ones when I get a part for my 3D printer tomorrow.  |

Looking good! Up until you said primer I thought that was the final color which I like, but I suppose it doesn't really suit the vibrant look of the wheels and tires so much. |

I actually have a colour of paint very similar to the primer but didn't like how it looked on the wheels. If I'd left the wheels black this would've looked OK. I also thought of pure rust. We'll see how it goes after it gets beat up a bit. But for now it's going to be black.

Got a couple of coats of Tamiya semi-gloss black paint on this afternoon. Beats a day at work anytime, and I like my job. Here's a sneak peak. Got some plans for some stickers as well.  |

Played with some more stickers. Have to look closely at the bottom of the doors. Tried some red paint on the mirror bracket. Looks OK I think, but I still need to print some better ones.  |

Looking good! Did you make the stickers? Flat four, it really seems more round-ish to me. Pardon my poor humor  |

Bahaha! Sorry, couldn’t help myself. And yeah, I made the stickers. About 5 minutes in Adobe Illustrator and five minutes to cut them out on my wife’s Silhouette Cameo cutter. I made the one below last week. It’s on a cabinet door in my shop.  Last edited by Tossedman; 04-23-2019 at 10:17 PM. |
