very well done ! my hat go,s off to you ,

I need to get one of those ,

cool old truck ,

michaels ,even wallmart ,,the distress crackle paint is from michaels

MIKE , you are welcome .I hope it helps , b.t.w. all the paints are done with a brush , that back section only took about 30 minutes to do but with pics and posting it took longer to get it on here,

very good work on that boom ,i would use braided fishing line ,love me some tow trucks ,

WAYNE ,the reason for the lock button only on the passengers side is people use to get in and out on that side when parked on the street so you did not get hit or lose a door , nice job so far ,i,ll be watching ,

Well guys I hope this helps , step -1 ; i paint the trim in folkart paint , color is cinnamon , may need 2 coats depending on the shade you want , step -2 ; paint the panels with folkart paint ,color raw sienna ,agen i used 2-coats , step -3 ; paint on the [ DISTRESS CRACKLE PAINT ] ,THEY SAY THE THICKER IT IS PUT ON THE MORE DISTRESSED IT GETS , I use a blow dryer to speed up the drying time , step -4 ; I use a flat black wash over every thing ,let dry ,all the paints i use are the FOLKART paints ,this is where you start to see things looking old , step -5 ; i dry brush on a light gray , step -6 ; i agen will go over it with a flat black wash ,and i,m done .

you guys may have talked me into it ,I will have to get all my ducks in a row ,so to speak ,

Aaron , thank you i,m thinking of using them but wanted a good look first ,
