2025 Mustang GTD Polymatic Grey Paint

1990 Ford Mustang LX 5.0 - Revell

Box stock, a clean as possible showroom condition build ( I stripped the paint 3 times on the hood and twice on the body to get here. HUGE effort to get to this stage, I’m really proud and Can’t believe I pulled through )

Notes -
Paint is a 2025 Mustang GTD Polymatic Grey by Firescale
Polished with a dspiae rotary tool with
Menzerna #2500, #3800 polishing compounds
Autoglym “super resin finish” polish
Colour matched flocking and interior paint
Diluted the inner amber turn signal lenses to have them differ to the outer as per references.

Sanded and Tamiya cement painted tires
Deliberately left the door handle in paint colour
Also about using the rear plate felt best visually for me

Can’t bring myself to paint the 5.0 badge with an alcohol pen. Attempted dry brushing 4 times, no chance. One day maybe.

Pros
First polishing success
First clean panel accent line and lamp success


Cons
Few assembly errors
Few paint errors
