'66 Buick

My 11yr old daughter wanted me to do a pink and purple car. My 2 least favourite colours, but I actually think this Buick looks pretty hot in pink fading to purple.
The base colour is silver leaf with a light met blue fade along the bottom edge of each side. Then I covered the silver/blue fade basecoat with Translucent Pink. The silver base really makes the pink pop and the pink topcoat turned the blue into purple.
Nothing modified, just swapped out the kit wheels for some Pegasus Chrome T's, 23" on the rear and 19" up front.











Thanks for looking

That looks stunning Clutch. I don't mind the hot colour scheme either - fabulous mate. Hey who's learning Photoshop now?

That is just an awesome paint job Clutch. With paint that smooth you can't believe the bodys stock, it looks like a full custom.

That is awesome mate well done great colours
Cheers Marshie

now that colour Pops,

...good looking custom.

Shit hot mate, well done.

That paint job is flawless dude , superb build

I want to see this paint job at Mackay. Oh yeah the car too! Awesome.

Wow , nice work Clutch. I have a liking for 60's era Buicks and this fits in well, and the colour suits as a mild custom as well.

Thats wicked Clutch. Pink and purple isnt too bad after all.

I have been thinking about a fade paint job. Thanks for telling us how you did it.

Outstanding build and the paint suits it perfectly.

That looks fabulous. Love the colour, stance, wheels - everything is just right!

WOW! That's what I call one class act!

Well thanks very much guys, your comments are always appreciated.

Cheers Andrew, if you're interested in trying out a fade,have a look at these 2 links.
Í've only done a fade paint job a couple of times, so I'm sure there's other ways to do it, but you might find these useful.

Thanks Ron, I know you're a Buick fan, so I'm extra happy to know it has your seal of approval.

Now that is cool!! Beautiful paint job and the way that thing sits is perfect.

Super cool, I love it.

Awesome! That's one of my favorite builds that I've seen here... love it!

S-E-X-X-Y Those 66 buicks had an awesome look about them and you've just added on to that with a stunning paint job. Well done.

Top paint Joe, all from a can?

Very cool.
You say it's stock but surely you must have lowered it?

Thanks guys,
Yep, from the can Bear.
You're right Zen, Kind of forgot about that I didn't lower it properly. I couldn't get it down enough so I simply glued the wheel tops to the inner guards but don't tell anyone
