A whole year since the last blog post... although a couple of cars have been completed since then. One was a Chevy coupe but I also have a Chevy sedan to build, so I'll blog about those when they are both finished. The other was an Aston Martin DB4 Zagato.
I started this five years ago and sprayed it dark blue. I then decided I wanted a different colour so experimented with isopropyl alcohol as a bath for the car to remove the original paint.
It removed most although not all of the paint but more worryingly, also started to dissolve the resin model itself. And so I somewhat lost heart.
Last year I decided to try and rescue the car. I smoothed down the bodywork and then re-sprayed in a metallic green. At the end of the day, it turned out ok.
