the restoration continues ...one more set of stencils to go -
TURQUOISEthe rest of the cab has been masked off thoroughly
turquoise premask removed
"charge the hose line"
the masks can be removed, the stencil itself has to stay on for a couple of days. DRYING SEASON
after about one week in a warm room, the final set of stencils has to say goodbye
this is like unwrapping birthday presents
only one thing left to uncover (i've saved the best for last): the williams W
here we go. don't let yourself be confused by the picture: what looks like as if the paint has run underneath the stencil are just paint rests which can be scraped off easily. i'm so excited!!!
the famous williams W - the only thing missing now are the "registered" decals. i'm going to apply them later!
WOW!!! WOW!!!at first glance the other side seems to be perfect, too, but a closer looks reveals that parts of the yellow paint have peeled off with the removal of the stencil
in detail
as stated before, i don't know what was different on the right side of the cab which made the yellow color peel off, but no time to weep: i've already talked to brian from gamestencils.com. he will send me some small replacement stencils to redo the areas were the yellow paint is missing. this is going to be G-R-E-A-T in the end, it just takes a little bit longer!
to be continued ...
