Bibbster repainting a Porsche 356 for me

Hi,

I have a Ninco Classic Porsche 356 on order now. It's the car that I want to use to get my wife into the slot car hobby.

She has a 1:1 1965 356C cab that has a champagne yellow body, black top and black interior. So, although the Ninco car is a 356A speedster, I want to get the car (which comes with a red body and tan soft top and tan interior) re-painted in the colors of her 356C as an enticer to get her into what is, predominantly, a guy's hobby.

I don't have nearly enough skill to tackle this project and so I wanted to ask the members of this forum if there was anyone who would take on this project for me. I would appreciate it and would certainly be willing to pay for the work.

Her birthday is April 20th, so that's the date that I'm using as a target at this point.

Here's a pic of the car from one of the retailers websites:

Thanks,

Yes, it is. But, I think it's a little more buttery yellow than on the Mustang. I'll take some pics tomorrow and will send them to you in a PM.

Thanks a lot for being willing to take this project on.

Looks like Primrose one of the favourite colours of the Brits in the 60s.

There's something very satisfying in seeing paint soften and crinkle like that.

This is exciting! Thanks for posting the early steps, Jeremy.

I could never have even disassembled the car.......................

I like that paint stand. Is that your design Jeremy or did you buy it somewhere?

Looks very clean to me; and it's looking "yellower" than it was a day or two ago; even without the body paint.............

Agree, that paint stand is very nice.

That soft yellow suits the old girl well.
