I needed something to compare "torch red" to the pre-painted body of the C7 by Revell (underneath the C6)

As you can see, I decided to paint it shiny all over. I was thinking a lot of how and what I should do.

This is one of the main issue. Glue on the windows. It will be a long, sandy way 😉

Nice 'vette! The combo with the matt black looks interesting - is it there to stay, or will it get a unified gloss finish later?

Thank you!
After I unwrapped the body, I'm a little sad, that I didn't paint a glossy clear cote first. This satin matt looks pretty good. So I'm not sure what to do. It was planned to give it a glossy shine all over.
But: how would it be to get it a completely satin matt clear cote? Goes straight through my mind. Hmmm....
Currently it is planned for a shiny finish.

The red can not be polished. It has no clear cote :/

Tape the black up and clear coat it. The black looks great!

Until the paint job I was not sure what to do. At the end I decided to paint it glossy allover. I really wasn't sure, how it will look with the matt part on the hood.

The interior is done today. So it is straight on the road to get finish.

Album info

This kit was bought as a donor kit for my blue ZR-1 C6. I only needed the rear window. Then I was thinking About the torch red Color for the C7 I was Building that time. I only tested the Color on this Body. It turned out well so I decided to built this C7 too.
