dig Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Here is a fun little Beetle I just completed. Features a scratchbuilt roof rack, "bagged" suspension, modified stock steelies with stretchwall tires, photo etch headlight visors, custom decals, scratchbuilt console basket, photoetch plate toppers & of course the fun patina paint. Thanks for looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dig Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share Posted November 13, 2015 OUTSTANDING!! how did you "pit" the chrome?Thank you!! I learned that from Dr. Cranky of course. He did a youtube video on it where you basically just do a burst shot of dull coat. & then for the rust, did the same with red primer.
