After a 24 hr. cure, the paint was hard enough to begin serious finishing. I might have "over-scuffed" it a bit, but the cab has a nice, weathered, egg-shell finish that is just about right.
Today, I began the chromatic weathering, starting with the heavy black outlining (acrylics), and the undercoating of the chrome items. So far I am delighted with the finish and the overall effect--and it can only get better! [nb: The weathering will be an ongoing process throughout the life of the project. This is not weathering for the sake of weathering; but, rather, weathering as an inte- grative element of the overall project.]
I am hoping to start printing and playing with the [custom] decals over the weekend. . .
Stay tuned!
