plasticfrog Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 (edited) I wanna see some more shots of this truck if possible. Also curious about how you did the rusting.. I primed it with red primer then painted it with rustolem labor blue from Wal-mart.I then wet sanded it with 800 grit til it showed the red primer. I had some issues come up on sanding it started showing the plastic so I took a brush and dabbed it from spraying red primer on a paper plate.I also used the weathering kit from Hobby Lobby called Sophisticated finishes.
