Re: Chip's DB5 Recovery Job
Due to the poor finish on the bodywork I have decided to take TimJ's advice and change the colour scheme. Rather than struggling with the silver body I am now going to do this camo version:

Re: Chip's DB5 Recovery Job
It will look great in this scheme, and a bit of fun with camo colors.
I now regret not choosing a camo scheme with colorful details on mine, it would hide lots of faults.

Green stripes applied:
I obviously did not burnish the tape down enough as there has been a bit of paint bleed, easy enough to touch up.
Next up is the fun part of the detail painting.

Re: Chip's DB5 Recovery Job
Thanks for the support Zee.
I have been short of time to work on this of late, but I have managed to get the paintwork repaired and the decals on:
I need to finish off the dashboard and then I can attach the glazing and chasis.
