Bbo1974 Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 I am finished with Bill Elliott's 1999 McDonalds Ford Taurus. Building the model was simple enough. I lowered the front stance a little, added photo etched grilles from the Model Car Garage. I was actually pretty happy with the paint job, I have liked the gloss that I get from Krylon paints and have finally figured out the surface prep to keep it from pulling away from the edges. The decals were another story... even after applying a clear coat they still came apart on me, but it was a good exercise in patience. I came really close to purchasing two sets but I saw so many little discrepancies in the decals themselves that I came to the conclusion that it will look good sitting on the shelf and that I would call it done and move on to the next one. Speaking of the next one, I'm working on Bill Elliott's 1989 Coors Thunderbird now. I will be using the Powerslide decals on this one so I don't expect any issues. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobss396 Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 I like Powerslide decals, they always went on well for me. I pick them up from Mike's Decals, either by mail or at shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
