Speed Shapes

[Mike 1017]

 

I have seen a lot of guys ask "I have screwed up my paint job" "Now what do I do?" IMO these Speed Shapes are the best to practice and experiment on. Better to screw one of these up than a body that you have painstakingly working on.

I got a bunch off of Amazon $2.00- $3.00 a piece. I have only seen them in black and white.

Good info. That's about the size of a 1/25 car.

One of our paint suppliers used to give me all I wanted, but with cost trimming everywhere, no more.

Hhmmm, interesting. Is the intended purpose of these things for paint sampling, or were they originally marketed for something else?

EDIT: Never mind, I just went to amazon and checked them out. Never knew these existed.

If you visit Alclad's website, they use those to showcase some of their paints.

You gotta pay attention to dimensions . Some are small and used to sample colors

I'm not that into painting! I can see where they might be useful, if that's your thing, though.

Would make a cool go-kart??
