If you want to see what your surface really looks like. Nothing shows up defects like black. This needed a lot of work. The surface will be sanded down progressively to about 2500 grit wet.

This gives you an idea of the texture after sanding down to 2500 grit wet.

The Tamiya 2mm vinyl striping tape is too wide, but I am just playing around looking to determine the possibility of patterns. I don't think the stylists at Chevrolet had a cohesive or coherent plan. Look at the character lines on the hood and compare them to the character lines of the trunk.

I avoided the character lines so far. We'll see if I can come up with an appropriate design.

I am trying to stretch my abilities.I have painted and stripped this body over 6 times. When you strip the finish, it is important to make sure that you get any traces of your cleaner off the plastic. After the Super Clean, I wash the body in some Dawn dish soap solution, and dry it in the dehydrator.

This project has had enough downtime. I look to picking it up this spring.
