I like the blue. Let's see this one done. Never mind the wheels coming off the bus. You've got this, Lyle!

Re: AMT 1967 Chevrolet Impala SS
I agree with Mustang about the quality of your work, and the usage of high grit sandpaper. All too often the final stages of painting — the sanding and blending — are left out. Try the Novus series like he suggests.mustang1989 wrote:From the pictures I'm seeing this looks just fantastic Lyle. If you've got some dust bunnies or anything like that in the paint don't be afraid to wet sand it some. Start with 4000 and work your way towards the 12000 grit range if needed. I can't see anything here that needs addressed though. When you do polish go with the Novus 2 only. Save the Novus 1 till you're getting ready to put 'er on the shelf......or better yet....under glass.
BTW.....FANTASTIC work pal. You've done very well so far.
