dragmodels44 Posted July 12, 2018 Posted July 12, 2018 Hey guys, After reading a couple of Tim Boyd’s articles on faded paint jobs I wanted to try it on one of the Revell Chi-Town Hustler bodies, similar to one he actually did. I took the Charger body and after cleaning it up I primed it with Dupli color primer. After about 24 hours I prepped it then I used a base coat of diamond dust silver, starting from the bottom up i sprayed Purplicious purple at the bottom, then de-ja-blue, star spangled blue finished it. I then started with Revving red, then fiery orange and finished with mystic emerald green. I decaled it then used two part urethane clear. Another body done. Thanks for looking
Chris in Berwyn Posted July 13, 2018 Posted July 13, 2018 Wow! And that clear really brings out the sparkle in the One Coat paints.
dragmodels44 Posted July 14, 2018 Author Posted July 14, 2018 Yeah, those are awesome colors. As long as I was being wild with the paint colors, I decided to do the chassis in star spangled blue fading into de=ja=blue. Did the wheels and slicks also.
gtx6970 Posted July 14, 2018 Posted July 14, 2018 If you wamt to do another one. I'll send you a body and decals
Truck parts Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 WOW !! I love the paint job, I can't wait to see the rest of the build
dragmodels44 Posted July 15, 2018 Author Posted July 15, 2018 Thanks! I’m working on 2 chassis’s at the same time
dragmodels44 Posted July 16, 2018 Author Posted July 16, 2018 Well, I was able to get the chassis for the Rambunctious on the ground. Hopefully I’ll have more done this week! Thanks for looking.
gtx6970 Posted July 16, 2018 Posted July 16, 2018 Looks like your using the Chi-Town Hustler for the basis for this build ?
jeffdeoranut Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 would you be interested in painting a color me gone charger body if I sent you the body and decals? I would offer kits in trade or other considerations...you can email me at jeffcardinalfan@yahoo.com
