Aggie Posted May 28, 2016 Posted May 28, 2016 I painted this one with an airbrush using Createx colors. base is sliver then the red and black added on top. I have always liked the look of the SSR although many do not.
Tom Geiger Posted May 28, 2016 Posted May 28, 2016 Super nice paint scheme! Came out real well! I've always liked the SSR. The only design cue I don't like is how the top bar on the grill goes across the headlight. I think it would look so much better if it stopped short of hitting the light. Back when they were new, Bill and I went to the GM drive event and got to take them around a road course. Pretty much a Corvette pickup! I'd even take one of the earlier 6 cylinder models. Above is a photo from that event.

Above is a photo from that event. oh wow. I would have love to attend something like that. I would not mind owning one but this car is one of the top ugliest cars according to the wife. I heard that they did handle well. I read somewhere that they where built on the Trail Blazer chassis, is this true?
Aggie Posted May 28, 2016 Author Posted May 28, 2016 Very nice job on the paint.Thank you. the hardest part was getting the curve of the stripe to stay even on both sides.
Rider Posted May 29, 2016 Posted May 29, 2016 Nice detail work, the colour scheme and graphics works well on it. I've never been a fan of the Createx paints. Have you tried their line of AutoAir, Wicked or their Illistrator paints?
Tom Geiger Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 I heard that they did handle well. I read somewhere that they where built on the Trail Blazer chassis, is this true?True. I just looked it up. News to me, I never thought about it before. I always thought of it more as a Corvette pickup! They did handle well. I took them through the road course that GM set up with cones. I then took a full size Chevy pickup through the same course and driving it the same as the SSR, I slid off the course and through the cones!
1930fordpickup Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 Great paint scheme, makes this not so pretty truck better by leaps and bounds.

I really like the colors that they have and it sprays pretty easily. Now I mainly mix my one colors using just 97 cent acrylic paint and windsheld washer fluid to dilute..

Which acrylics are you using?
