I knew there had to be some polished votes out there.
I don`t think I have actually seen the elusive beauty in person, besides the Kirkham open houses. I will say that windex has kept the finish on#318 looking great for ten + years. Rodneys` choice of color with those wheels is drop dead beautiful. Maurice |
I polished mine because I had only heard of one other that was polished - someone posted a picture of it in Shelbys showroom, it was parked on a black and white checked floor. I was awestruck. I just had to.
That polish took quite a bit of maintenance as it would oxidize pretty quickly - I never tried any coating which might have ameliorated that. If I had to do it over I would have painted it a pretty blue with no stripes. I think you saw my car, Maurice? |
Start with polished, then brush it after about 5 years, then paint it about 7 years after that...

Maurice - why go with what's the most popular for a Kirkham? It's a very good replica of a 427 Cobra, so why not replicate how the originals were finished.....and paint it? ;) Cheers, Glen |
I found the polished too bright to live with.
So brushed is where it's at right now. The wife wants it painted blue of all colours. :LOL: But I can't settle on one colour. So ive convinced myself that if I wanted a painted one id have bought a plastic one. :o |
Brushed...bestest thing about my BNL.

Pat,
I remember yours from when you brought it up here for the car show. It was so bright that people had a hard time trying to get a picture of it out in the sun. But is really looked good and got a lot of attention. Ron :) Quote:

Good to hear from old friends,
Pat, I never actually saw your car in person, just some great pictures about the time I ordered #318. One of those pics was the event Ron 61 referred to at Redding. Maurice |
Well,
I tallied up the official results 8 for paint 5 for brushed 4 for polished Thanks to everyone that participated. Maurice |
Well, Maurice....what's it gonna be? :p

No one in their right mind would paint a replica of a 1960's race car BEiGE. And then, double down, and paint their wheels the same color...BEIGE.
The odds of this happening are greater than the winning the lottery |
