I have always loved the Falcon Sprint/Futura HT; especially the '64 & '65.

Question Hollis. Knowing your expert touch, would/will you blackwash the hubcaps and chrome section above the rear bumper?

@geoff-jowett yep, that's what I use Geoff. I let it dry, then put a dab of mineral spirits on a Q-tip, go ever it real lightly, it's done. That's how I did the hubcaps on the white version.😊 Congrats Hollis, I love the color. I'm happy to have both versions.

thanks for the tip Geno. I've been wiping off the excess while still wet.

@geoff-jowett Geoff, that's how I used to do it but it seemed to absorb what I just laid down, then I'd have to go over it again, lol. Doing it once it dries, with the mineral spirits seems to work better, at least for me anyway. I dip the Q-tip in the mineral spirits, roll it on a paper towel to soak out the excess to where its almost dry, then go over what I'm trying to cleanup lightly. Kinda like drybrushing to pick out details. If that makes sense, lol. See hubcaps below. And I'm glad I could help.😊

@geno Had a go today, my phone camera does not pick it up too well but I reckon its a big improvement. Also I don't have Genos, intricate detail skills!
