Cool. You've set the stage for some cool chipping.

I think should should have at least one different colored door, quarter etc...

Thanks guys. There's another rust layer on top of the last one I posted. I'm stuck debating with myself as to what color to paint her. Blue's have been done before and greens to close to blue. I'd like to stay away from red because I think I would have trouble fading to the worn, weathered look. But Scott, you've got me thinking about the different color door thing as I'm intrigued by the suggestion. More research!!!
On another note this image has me flummoxed. Can I say that here? I think it's so cool.

Tonight's update is influenced by that attachment pic I posted above. I tried to mimic the way some remnants of weathered primer shows through in areas on the body. Reread Todd's rusting article a dozen times already and never get tired of it.
So this is where I stand. Sort of a two toned primer layer of Tamiya German Gray and Tamiya Neutral Gray with a few drops of Flat White as an additional highlighter for the Neutral Gray. All of this was airbrushed on only to the areas I wanted primer to show through. Everything is heavily chipped using hairspray.






Suggestions always welcome,
Anthony

Thanks Todd, I have you to thank. And your right a bit of color just makes everything pop, even though it's just gray tones. I took a new round of pics as I couldn't get the camera to cooperate last night. Did it right today.

 

[TRM]

Even Better!! ;D ;D ;D ;D Those rust tines show through really well!!! Nice work on those rims as well!!

There you go! That's looking cool.

I wouldn't stop there, a few more rounds like that varying the color and man, you'll have something totally wacked out cool.

Thanks boys. I think I'm hedging towards a green truck. I know I was up in the air a few posts back but after some research I kind of like what the green brings to the table.
