And to be honest I have begun. I have begun the painting of the body.

The first two layers of the painting.

First was a layer of Testors Gloss Black. Once dry I sanded it out a bit with 1000 grit to get some of the blemishes to minimize. I then sprayed Alclad Polished Aluminium to give it a "metal" base layer.

After this I went with the first color. Model Master Enamel Artict Blue Metal Flake. I will allow this to dry then I plan to move into sanding out some of the blemishes that have occured. I will then hit it with another coat. I plan to build up the paint and then on to clear.

Many thanks for looking in.

She will be showroom. Just cannot tear up a Mustang.

The stand is from Tamiya. Spring loaded. One of my more intelligent purchases.

Many many thanks.

To be honest it was one of three metal flake or pearl paints in the line. I was at a shop and this is what they had.

1966 Ford Mustang 350GT R Decals

The decals went on ok.

All things considered though if faced with the same situation I would paint them on. As it is they are on and have been glossed. I was planning to polishing this up but I believe I will just leave it. It has a decent shine to it and looks pretty good.

So here are pics of the decals.
