Thanks for the compliment. It got boxed up like seven years ago due to missing parts, so I of course forgot what paint it is. So now that Moebius has the molds from Galaxie Limited,I was able to source the replacements for them. My cohort and I had a sponsorship through Gravity Colors at the time, so I am thinking it was one of the colors they sent us to try out. I just started going through the wet sanding and polishing the clear stage, so it’s about due to be finished.

Thank you. And, yessir, she’s an original Galxie Limited kit. I bought four more after Moebius purchased the molds. So now I have two of each for the Coupe and Delivery and three of the Sedans. I believe the color is from Gravity Colors from quite some time ago. I couldn’t tell you what shade it is,I only know that it’s gorgeous.

They are awesome kits. There are some discrepancies with accuracy of the front end, especially the 46 grille, but they’re the only 46-48 Chevy’s available. I am quite gratefull that Moebius grabbed the molds and is reproducing them. I paid a lot for my panel delivery and I didn’t want to do that again.

I am at my wits with this build. I am likely going to have to paint the fenders in a two tone. I had a really bad spot of orange peel on the front clip. I went through multiple stages of wet sanding from 2000 to 10,000 just to burn through a spot right beside the orange peel. I assume something happened during the leveling when it was put away all those years ago. I think i am going to have to spray some black or cream or something.
