1970 Buick GSX

Bship1969-Nice Job On The Buick Love The Color Im Building One Myself What Shade Of Yellow Is On Your Buick Shes Flawless I Have Bad Luck With Yellow Paint For Some Reason. I Tried To Paint My Buick Just Like Yours But That Never Happened Im On My 3rd Paint Attempt.

Thanks lsufan. I don't have an airbrush yet, so I use spray paint. The yellow used here was Testors #1214 Yellow Spray Enamel. I've had trouble with spray paint in the past too, but this time it worked out okay. I really screwed up a 1955 Chevy truck recently with white spray enamel. The hood and front quarter panels were covered with bubbles.

there's a guy in the state of Deleware, that races Buicks. I also think he builds them for other people as well. Well anyway he takes a pristene Roadrunner in on a trade, and has my brother rebuild the engine, transmission, and rear end. So one day I show up over at his house and there's this really pretty White Stage two Buick setting out front with a blue 1968 Roadrunner on a trailer. Several months later he shows up again, but this time he's got a Grand National setting on the trailer along with the White Buick. Brother and he go down to a track in the Southwest corner of Ohio to have some fun. The Grand National ran 10.70's shutting down almost two hundred feet early!! But the killer was the tow car; it ran 12.50's with a best of 12.30. The white car is bone stock except for a set of pistons (9:1 CR with a custom dome design)

I looked at your GSX and thought "Testor's Enamel Yellow?"--mt Super Bee is done in the same color (not finished yet). I did mine from the bottle through an airbrush. I really don'y like the inability to control spray cans' dispersion.

Looks beautiful!
