Does anyone else do this???

Posted by bostonbruins34 on Saturday, January 12, 2008 8:45 AM

I remember when I did models a LONG time ago. I did a bunch of cars and would sometimes get bored with the finish. More than a few times I would mask up the car and give it a new paintjob as long as no decals were involved.

Here's what I'm doing right now http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&friendID=201700894&albumID=1075526&imageID=11741292

I threw a quicky coat on the hood and forgot the primer but it gives a good idea what color it is...Boyd's "Black and Blue Pearl"

Sorry I couldn't get the picture to post directly...I'll have to figure out why later.

The existence of flamethrowers is proof that someone, somewhere, said to himself, "I want to set those people over there on fire, but I don't feel like walking over there to do it."

Cool idea.

You can't link directly with MySpace, and you have to have a MySpace account to access your page. Try signing up with Photobucket, it's free, and you can link to images directly.

So long folks!

I just realized that post may have sounded a bit cryptic...I guess the question was about repainting old finished projects and the case in point is the Dodge Daytona I originally had painted red and am in the process of painting blue/black pearl. Does anyone else do things like this??

Been a few weeks. Here's a few more after starting to dry fit. Still need to clean up the window and window trim, add the exterior items and assemble the tail/front ends. Also getting ready to add a white stripe on the wing...
