The truck is on hold while I look for that paint that will make it pop! None of my blues or reds are what I want.
In the meantime, my ‘55 gasser has become a junkyard paint tester, so, I tore it apart tonight and am “playing” with it. First, I pulled out a bottle of sublime green for the main paint color. Will do some body detailing next.

Sounds good, I used the sublime green on the Challenger with a black interior a while back, loved the color!!!

I'll have to look at that. RIght now I only have flat black and semi-gloss black. Still looking at colors though. I sure have enjoyed the military stuff, but man, I'm finding the joy of cars. With the military stuff, I try to keep it period correct, but with cars, you can do all sorts of cool stuff. (with help from the non-colorblind)

I ran into issues with my paint. Light blue was mislabeled as dark blue and I didn’t like the color. So, I stripped all the paint off the body and started with Arctic blue. I like it much better but it’s acrylic so I had to prime. Here’s what I have so far:

I have decided that I am NEVER painting a car Arctic blue again! This stuff is hard to make look right!

Anyone got some suggestions for the good? It is warped and doesn’t sit flat.
