Great start, I'm curious!

Thanks, mates! Hope to get my hands on it soon.

Basically all parts are painted and the body is fillered and wet sanded. The color isn't decided yet and I'm thinking about the chromed rims. I think, I will paint them silver too because on my point of view, this kind of chrome doesn't match with a modern car well. Particullarly at this one.

I painted the body black to get a better result for the final color. My experinces the last month told me, that somehow the edges and "panel lines" came through the paint and stayed brownish. To avoid that I decided to paint the whole car black. As you see, the edges and panel lines are well painted too. But .... after two days of drying, I have some scratches on the drivers side and the hood. Great. Love it like pest....

Stripping of the color didn't work on the first shot. Only the black paint was gone, not the primer. On top, the primer was week and sticky. So I decided to change Dowanol (the fluid, which is a paint stripper) because it can be, that it is to old. I thought. And was right. I never changed it since a hand full of years. I can't even remember, that I changed it anyway.
So I have to report, that the primer is gone and I can start with painting again.

You have no luck with the black paint... Heads up, I'm sure, another beauty is borning!

Thank you. Meanwhile I think it is just the Dodge. Maybe you remember the same issue with the 1973 Dodge Charger (1973 Dodge Charger - wip | Album by christian-w (1:25)). Same material, even the same rattle cans caused the same problem. I repainted that thing 😉 with enamel by Revell. That worked out.

But - and now the big but: around Christmas I painted a C5 Corvette the same way. Same filler, same black out of the same rattle cans and nothing happened! The only different was the producer of the kits: both Dodge are made by MPC and AMT/ERTL (in the 1970s and 1990s) and the Corvette by Revell. I don't think, that MPC / AMT/ERTL used the same plastics 20 years long. I think this is totally impossible. I don't get it.

So I'll repaint this Dodge Stealth again but not the black. I'll throw this bottle into the farest corner and will only use it for small parts.

The curse of the black paint strikes again.
So what colour now?

I will tackle the challenge and will beat the system *lol* I'll paint it black again but with enamel of Revell. Then the decided color. What worked on the Charger lately should work here on the second try too.
