I’ve been trying to make a good Two Lane Blacktop replica Chevy (maybe more of a tribute, as the '57 in the game is quite different from the '55 in the movie), as I haven’t managed to find a good one to download (if you know of a good one that isn’t just a grey paint job, please let me know and I’ll download it instead and abandon this and go back to driving). So far, take a '57 Chevy, throw on the cowl induction hood, find some wheels that will fit the bill in the absence of the proper American Racing 200-S (I’ve gone with Torq-Thrusts so far), paint the whole thing a dark primer grey, and we’re almost there. Here’s where I need some advice.
As you can see, the primer on the movie car was very aged looking, with lots of streaking and blotching (side note-IRL, people recreating this paint job spray a little paint thinner on uncured, still drying primer to get it to run a bit). I’m trying to figure out how to replicate this effect, and everything I try looks kinda terrible. So, if any of you uber-talented painters has any advice on how to pull this off it would be greatly appreciated. Or, if anyone would like to just make a good one I (and a few others I’m sure) will happily just download that, as I’m not much of a painter anyway.
Thanks!
