Cleaned up the engine compartment. I need to wait another week or two before adding the stripe and wax. Otherwise, it is done. It becomes my regular daily driver.

I really like this styling with all the black. Are you going black with the tailstripe too? |

Thanks! Yes the tail stripe will be black also.

Doing a nice job on that Scamp! The blue engine color looks real good, wish I could get that color from 3 of the recent cans I bought. I've mentioned the brand in another post. I've never had problems getting the correct color until about 6 months ago! Questionable QC. |

Please don't wax it! If you have fresh paint, wax is the quickest way to ruin it, especially since paint takes longer than you realize to cure. Once you wax a car, you can't stop, or your paint will never have the shine it once did. Just my opinion, as it isn't my car. |

Are you recommending to Never wax it? I was going to give the base-coat clear-coat 4 weeks to cure before waxing. |

Another member called my attention to this '72 Scamp on Ebay. The only differences (besides the engine) are the vinyl/paint top, tinted windows, wheels, grill color, bumperetts, and the stripe. My color looks slightly different as the base/clear coat of the same paint recipe looks a little different. For the first time, I'm beginning to wonder about the tail stripe? Any opinions? http://www.ebay.com/itm/271462219259?_t ... EBIDX%3AIT

Check with your painter. If I remember right, mine told me to wait 6 months, but that was several years ago.Personally, I would leave the tail stripe off. (Though personally, I would also remove the beauty rings. And then I would...touch nothing else, your car is beautiful! You nailed the look.) |
