Tumbler75 Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 (edited) OK, You can blame MidKnight05/Rick for the creation of this car! HE DARED ME! I built it a bit ago (a couple of years) and seemed to have missed putting it here. The name in the title I couldn't help myself! It's a DieCast Ex NYPD Squad Car turned Modern Day "K"ustom (sorry! ) I painted the flame colours masked and sprayed with Anodized Blue over MetalSpeck Silver to give it a 50's/60's "K"ustom look then polished to perfection after 6 coats of clear. Tires are from another DieCast (Copperhead) and I lowered the front down 1.5 scale inches for a nice rake. Enjoy!

Tumbler75 Posted April 3, 2010 Author Share Posted April 3, 2010 Russ this might help make sense of how it was done. Getting started: There was three colours laid down (two are so close it's scarey). Silver to Lt. Blue to Metalspeck Copper Orange (Gloss Black Base to darken it). After it was sprayed it was sealed with 2 coats of clear to settle the metalflake. The Mask I printed out and then traced to tape: Once applied the Metalspeck Silver base was sprayed, dried in a dehydrator for 72 hrs then Anodized Blue Sprayed Over it and Dehydrated for another 72 hours and then mask removed gently. 6 layers of clear to seal everything in. Smooth as glass and no polishing was needed. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
