| Model: |
2001 Ford GT-90
#062 |
| Description: |
Did you know this is
actually a descendent of the legendary GT-40? I believe this is a Carol
Shelby creation, and if so, it's a functional GT racer that needs a rear
wing, because it looks simply awful as-is. This exercise in turd-polishing
is only for the desperate; if you want a stripped look, get the white First
Edition, which even uses more appropriate wheels. |
| Level
of difficulty: |
Expert. Thin white
enamel easily strips to bare metal beneath this tough paint. |
| Options:
|
As shown; also, removal
of the center Tampos from the hood in favor of the side Tampos provides
a different esthetic balance that should work. |
| Watch
for: |
Everything.
The gold and blue are both tough paint formulations that do not come off
easily or quickly, and leave behind flecks that will scare you to death
in the sharp grooves around the doors. The lower left examples hide a lot
of tiny imperfections where I stripped the paint to bare metal despite my
most ginger attempts to remove all paint. Regular nail polish remover wouldn't
have helped; that type of solvent is tough on this white enamel. |
