Interior paint didn't look good up close. The stripe wasn't stuck good in a couple places. I thought it might be time for a refresher.

I got back on this one, recently.
I had already started the tear down:

Here is that not-so-good paint on the innerds:

The HEMI, as built long ago:

So far, so good on the tear down:

I had "white lettered" these tires when I first built this one. They still look good enuff, to me!

The wheels will get some detail paint tossed on them.

The windows, bumpers, and taillights came out really clean:

Interior came apart well, too:

So, after a loooooong hiatus, I finally dunked these parts into the purple stuff:

Two days later, they still had some paint to be removed:

This project is up to date, now. I do have the parts depainted, and cleaned with soap and water.
Next up, will be prepping the body and other parts for PRIMER!!

I read somewhere (or maybe I dreamed it) that flat black would help keep yellow plastic from doing a "bleedthru" when the color coat is applied. Anyway.........

I hit these with Model Master Flat Black Enamel.
