Axistr new project

Thanks guys, wow the ute has the mask lines all over the place. We forget how rough they left the factory back in the day. Defently wouldn't be acceptable these days. Anyway as said its a guide, with variations between different Holden production lines. Its hard to judge if the blackouts were gloss or just badly faded, the blue looks very faded also.

The colour is Opaline Blue which is a very washed out baby blue. I quite like the colour but many don't.
There is obvious sand marks in the rear quarter and massive paint runs near the taillight, and paint blow-in's very obvious around the rear drivers bumperette/beaver panel so I wouldn't think that factory.
The masking is rough as guts. Who knows the real history of that Ute but I'm sure it's not as honest as the label "Original - Unrestored" suggests!

I'm sure there are close up blackout pictures of Rodney's Van that he posted in a thread I just can't seem to find it. Maybe scrolling through their Photobucket account will find them?
As for the masking, the car itself has nice contour lines you can follow that will yield a superior results especially around the door/B Pillar area.
