VINYL TOP FOR 1966 OLDS CUTLASS

to the forums! You might want to turn off the caps lock as it looks like you're yelling at us!

There are modeling puttys available which you could apply and then texture with a fine grained sponge. You just want to give a hint of texture to keep it within scale.

Always liked the 66 Cutlass, never did like vinyl roofs, though!

Modelcargarage.com also sells a vinyl top product. I bought one just to see how it would work but haven't actually used it yet.

Welcome to the place and enjoy your stay.
I have heard of people using silk which has enough texture to simulate vinyl.
What scale are you using for the Olds?

Cheers , Pete.

I used 3" wide masking tape painted semi gloss black on this Roadrunner. You can overlap it to simulate the seams.

Hey guys thanks for the tips. Masking tape sounds the easiest and sure makes good sense. I was in my favorite hobby shop today and found Testors has a new 2part (didn't notice the 2 part until I got home with 1 part) Vinyl top textured paint. So when I get back for 2nd part will also try this.
Thanks again for the help

Tom,

There are also a few varieties of "cloth tape" that will work. I find it in a "crafts" store.
