So i tried painting the tailgate in hawian met blue from a spray can but the paint was old so it had thickend up so i stripped it again.
Iv decided to go with tamiya park green, its a acrylic paint but i never use enamels so i thought i may as well use the paint i have.
i primered first then wet sanded to get the primer smooth. Here it is with 1st coat on the original chassis.
That blue/gray bar you can see in the middle of the body is the starting point for the cotton bud rollcage lol, i do the same for all my cars, make a custom rollcage and the starting point is always the same.
