This is more like it! This is just a quick coat of Tamiya Fine Surface Grey Primer on the hood. Another coat of primer maybe and then several coats of Dupli-Color Forest Green Pearl!    More Corvette to come... |

I have painted the hood this afternoon! Dupli-Color Forest Green Pearl! I let this gas out for a day or two and then start the polishing phase.    More Corvette to come... |

I noticed that my last painting sesson left some places on the hood undercolored. I added another coat or two to the hood. Then, the crack reappeared in the upper right hand corner of the hood. I am done chasing this crack around and will leave the paint as is and polish it. This was suppose to be a quick and simple build and then the cracks appeared on the hood. I'm just going to assemble the 'Vette and be done with it.    More Corvette to come... |
