Red painted on sides. I used Guards Red.
An unexpected paint peeled off. I got too impatient pulling the masking tape off instead of waiting a little longer.
Oh well, it'll be an easy fix.

Looks really nice. I have not graduated yet from one color car schemes

It's not that hard to do. I laid down the base color - gloss white.
Next I did the roof, masking where it ends then mask the rest of the car.
Last, mask for the red then mask the rest of the car.

Re: Revell's Sox and Martin '67 Plymouth GTX
Disaster struck last night... sprayed a coat of clear gloss (rattlecan) outdoors, brought in the garage to dry.
Later on that evening, I brought it downstairs to resume it. Yup.... orange peel on all four corners.
My theory.... rattlecan was in sort of cold garage, outdoor temps in low 50s. I spent at least 20 minutes sanding off the orange peel.
This is the worse damage - the trunk deck area...
This is the minimalistic orange peel damage... front corner
Oh it doesn't end here.... I can't seem to find the decal sheet set that came with the kit. I spent an hour looking for it. I know I had it but it escaped me where I may have misplaced it. If I can't locate it. I'll hold out hope finding a set at Syrcon 2023 in a couple weeks. We'll see...

She was until I got too impatient. Ah well… live and learn….

Remeber, Speed kills....Sorry to see this. Hang in there.

Re: Revell's Sox and Martin '67 Plymouth GTX
Aw man, that is the suck! I hate when stuff like that happens, but don't worry, she'll be apples again with a little work. I once melted little divots into a Harrier paint job with rattlecan Glosscoat lacquer and I did by getting in a hurry then too. Good luck with the repair!
