VW drag car with printed body

[cobraman]

I bought this printed body I saw on the bay and thought it was cool . While I was sanding it smooth I was trying to decide what chassis I could use underneath it . I had another project I wanted to start so I decided just to make this a slammer with a simple pan for a chassis.  Tires from the parts box as is steering wheel , seat and decals as well as the roll bar . Paint is Tamiya Pearl Yellow fade to Tamiya Pearl Green . Clear was Duplicolor 1K .  I added aluminum tubes as exhaust dumps . I put about a one inch crack in the body when I drilled the first hole . Pretty fragile stuff it seems .

What a kewl looking little Altered drag Bug.  The faded in paint job looks pretty sharp.  Nice job.

That's very coolo Ray.  That 1K clear you're using seems to works extremly well.

[cobraman]

Thanks guys. Yes Jim, I am quite happy with the Duplicolor 1K clear.

That's  a rattle can?

That is very nice

[cobraman]

Thanks much fellows. Yes Jim it is. I buy it on Amazon but an auto store that carries the Duplicolor line should have it if you want to try it.

[AmericanMuscleFan]

Great job Ray!  I have to say I'm not a huge VW fan but this one is so cool... it's a drag car so how could I not love it.... ! ?

The painting is gorgeous, as others have mentioned, the color transition is impeccable! ?

I am not familiar with 3D printed parts, so what type of glue works best for this material, superglue or 2 part epoxy?

[cobraman]

Thanks guys ! Francis, I used superglue and JB Weld quick set for the chassis pan.

This came out great Ray. As the others have said, color the fad the stance.
