COMPLETED Revell Viper-Pics this time

Not sure what happened but when I got the pics back from HEB the color was totally off!!!







This probably shows off the orange the best:

This is during the final wetcoat:


Thank you, StephenDeli, for the wheels! They really set off the model

Sexy Viper you got there! I must agree with you that the rims do suit the car nicely. Although your right front has a bit too much positive camber.

The rims are sinister on that car with that amazing color. Great work.

Pure Ice nail polish in "Frosted Ice: Hot Tamale" $1.60/bottle, .5 fl oz, the car took about 3 bottles, with 2 mistcoats and 3 wetcoats followed by one coat of Duplicolor clear and preceded by two coats of Krylon white primer. Make sure you have a solid layer of primer because this stuff sprays hot!

This is definately the most work I've ever put into a paintjob, but it looks like it paid off!

About the wheels, all I did to make them fit was trim the diameter of the Viper's "spindles" so that they would fit inside the C5R rims. The ride height is a little off, ie too much wheel gap in the front, but I'll live. The spindles are also pretty flexible so you have to set the wheels how you want it to look because they move around a good bit. I just got in a rush to get the pics posted up here and didn't have anything positioned well. I can't decide whether or not to put on a licence plate, emblems etc....?

nice touch, and if you plan on putting stripes on it go with white, panel lines would make the car come to life!!!

Nice paint job.
The dark wheels contrast really well.

I wasn't planning on stripes, I just wanted to see what color since so many were clamoring for stripes! Personally I like the straight orange, it glows on the shelf next to the other Mopars (flat black Cuda and white Challenger that Will built and my Plum Crazy Purple Cuda)
