Wip 1:25 Gt500
So this is my go at diecast and I wanted to just put some wheels on this car and make the paint shiny. Well my hood test proved that adding clear wasn't a great idea even if it did come out shiny. Turns out that getting the plastic parts off is pud. I really thought it would be a pain in the ass - took 5 minutes. Anyway, the pics show an early mock up with Pegasus wheels, their smaller size Bullitts. If you've seen my other cars you know that I'm not nearly as cool as most of the people around here with the details. No engine, not much suspension, very little interior detail ... I just try to make the car look cool and shiny on the outside. Which is kinda what I do as a car artist so I guess it makes sense. I also got a good shot of how bad the paint was out of the box. This is a Revell 67 GT500 btw. I tried just a little wet sanding and polishing but the pits were pretty bad. It looked ok from 6 feet - these pictures really exagerate the bad paint with glaring light.
![]() ![]() The next one shows what happened with the clear coat on the hood. You can see quite a bit of color difference. ![]() And this is after the GT500 got in a fight with some 220 grit sand paper. I'll be letting some oven cleaner do the rest of the job for me. ![]()

Yikes, I hope your kidding about the 220. However, judging by your Challenger you know your way around a paint job

LMAO @ me
![]() I'm usually good about necroposts, but due to the fact that there was 0 replies on this one I didn't bother to take a second look at the date. Wow that is one tedious painting man, I'd have to really like the project to put that much in to it. Kudos anyways man.
