04 GTO

[bowtiebadboy33]

Just another build I've been working on lately.

Just finished cearring it, and I choose to use wheels from the amt 300c and I'm gonna paint the spokes charcol or black, don't know yet.

I might do black rally stripes, or a black super stripe, don't know yet.

Also finished the valve covers and intake piece, and hand painted GTO on it.

My hood has on it two faint black marks on it, not very notcibe but there.

I find yellow is the hardest to paint, I like painting black even better then this, and I hate painting black!

Here's some mock up pics:









So guys let me know about the stripes and the wheel color, because I'm undesided.

I gotta wait a bit before I polish it out and tape
it up and paint the window trim.

Thanks for looking.

paint a spoke lef spoke so its looks like it has 5spoked wheels

Paint the spokes and the stripes charcoal and make them rally stripes. Looking good so far. I've only painted yellow once but it came out great for me but then again I used Tamiya camel yellow so that may have had something to do with it.

I agree with Marc on painting the spokes, If notCharcoal then black, and leave the rim itself chrome.
Just a thought.

Yellow cars always stand out and look clean!

ok guys, thanks for the idea's!

ok guys, go a quick update.

Desided to just leave it as is, but am probly going to do the rims in black and leave the lip chrome, but not sure yet.

It's almost done, just gotta finish the side window trim, and the engine bay in black, then I can polish and and put it together. The interior, and chassis is now done.

Yes, I do have the shifter, just forgot about it.






Before I get to polishing.

WOW it looks awesome............. by the way painting yellow sucks........ if your drying area has any dust it will grab every thing in the air it seems........
