Tainted Love.

OK, here we go just about off to paint, the hood came out awsome, but of course, I did it, just one last check for any dings, and what not's then some wet, and scrub, and we're off to the race's.








OH! by the way, she will be HOK Black Pearl, about 3-5 coats, then, maybe even some transparent red, just to give it a nice tint...

Not a good shot here, looks as if I'm gonna have to brake out the photo booth, but here's a shot, after last coat, now for the finale minor scuffing, and smoothing, then gloss.

OK, well here she is dress'd in lady of the night Black Pearl, plus this will be the last mock shot till assembly, bet you guys are glad about that, here you go,

Nice

nice looks better with a but of colour.

where you score the hok paint from. its bloody too expensive to buy for models

Ok, I lie'd here's the engine for Tainted love, part's pak 427, scratch built dizzy, wire's 30 gauge, from Radio Shack, resin 1250 dominator carb's, Moroso valve cover's from the part's box, tranny from the '65 Lincoln kit, air cleaner's from ???

Sorry for those that were fallowing this build, well it has been shelved, yes, the cowell broke during buffing, so paint has to go all the way to the bone, but it will be better this trip, so hang in there, Tainted Love is not dead.....

My poor baby after her dip, look's so naked, the piece that broke should be just about ready to come out, anytime now, I decided not to take it all to the bone, then again the brake juice, help'd with that choice too......

D'oh!

I feel your pain.

Wow have I been in a slump, a bad one too, anyway, got Tainted Love back up and going, buy putting a new cowl on her, just doing the fill in work, and the smoothing, then on to primer and paint, but this time I'm thinking I might just go 2 tone, hmmmmmmm:

Go for it!! this has great "gangsta" style, black over red or something else dark WILL look great.

How do you guys do that? I'm thinking the top part, hood, fenders, roof, and trunk in the tradional black, and the side black cherry red, yea I see that, damn mind readers, GET OUT OF MY HEAD

ITS EASY!! HAAAAA HAAA HAAHAA (evil scientist laugh)

Here she is fella's yea! my baby is back on the bench, I'm going with Gloss Black top, hood, and deck lid, and the tops of the fenders, then the side's will be a Black Cherry Red Metallic:

Well here she is guys, last coat of primer, I hope, should have kolor on her by morning, new cowl looks good to me, what ya'll think?

Back to where you were a few months ago mate, give me some colour and then i'll give you my opinion, now hurry up.
BUT, dont rush that paint job, do it right, i like this beast.

OK, so I'm sitting here eating some chicken, nuke'd of course, so, I thought, I would share the new Kolor of Tainted Love, now I didnt have enough sherry, errr I mean cherry, to go around, so I used Garnett Red over the black base, well here she is, I will take that tape ridge down before the clear of course, oh and all Dupli-Color:

Colours look good mate, careful blocking back that line before clear, you might end up with a rub through. I personally do a clear coat, then block back the line, then more clear, less chance of a rub through. Either way, its still gonna look cool.

Those colours have turned out real nicely mate, keen to see this one on the show room floor.

Loving the 2 tone
