eehhmmmm.... The blue I painted? I did not ... yet. Just put a flat black coat on it as a base layer.. Either you need to calibrate your monitor's colors... or maybe you got the impression I painted the real car in the second picture? Well, I did not. As far as I know, this was the factory paint, applied in 1983... by Saab. Picture was taken in 2015

Blue !![]() ![]() (Not sure why or how, but LED lighting and/or the iPhone5's camera possibly make it a lot brighter blue than it looks in reality!) Edited by FoolTrottel, May 11 2018, 02:45 PM.

Finished it... well, the color is indeed too bright to be close to Saab's "Admiral Blue" but it'd be too much trouble to get my hands on that color, so I decided this has to be it...![]() Had to re-create one windshield wiper, as it got lost somehow, somewhere. It's made from wood... mind you, the ruler is in centimeters... ![]() Put it back into its protective box, as to not lose any other bits. Might take it out later for some more picture takings... ![]() Edited by FoolTrottel, May 13 2018, 05:06 PM.
