wow, that looks the sh*t! Where did you get the head painted?

Man I wish I had the patience and skill to do something like that. Too much time spent playing video games.

I have no skills, it really is not that hard.

I just pulled the valve cover and had it powder coated to match - cheap mod too and I'm happy with it. Thanks !

Clean! I like! Did you paint the whole cover black as well? Or is that just the original plastic?

 

[RoadDad]

That's beautiful. Very subtle and elegant.

Hey Wayne,

Love your plaque. Love your paint design, so had to copy it.
I added the lidbone and a trunk light. Will add the black plastic edging when I find some.

It took me a couple of years to get to it. But this thread was the inspiration to finally get it done. Thanks for the great tips.

For those of you that have used Testors paint for the logo, did you use enamel, acrylic or does it matter?

It's great that we each interpret it in different ways

I used enamel paints for the logo.

I have found enamels to be better as they provide a harder, more durable finish than acrylics. With oil, dirt, heat and abrasion factors on underhood applications, I prefer the enamels.

Also the color is deeper, IMHO.
