2023 Truex Interstate Toyota

[randyc]

Got this one for Christmas.  Needed a Toyota so I have all makes.  I don't see a lot of these SJR new cars, especially in the oob decals.  

I love decals, so this one was a fun challenge to wrap the car first in the green lightning.

Awesome job!  I too like to do decals but a complete wrap looks pretty intimidating.  Which solvent(s) do you prefer and do you also use a hair dryer?

Cool car

On these, I have not painted one yet.  I have found that a coat of Pledge Floor Gloss or whatever it's called ( used to be Future) gives a slicker surface for the decals.  But the PFG will get sticky if it gets too wet.  

I use Micro Sol (? The red bottle).

I have used a hair dryer in the past as well as hot water on a rag pressed onto the decals.  On this one, I didn't have to use any heat.  Just micro Sol several times and press the decals down a few times till they stay down.  

I use the micro Sol because I have it on hand and it's always worked if a solvent is going to. And my bottle is pretty old.

Wow, Randy. I don't know how I missed this. Awesome job on the wrap and the build. I can see why you like doing decals. You have a special talent for doing it. Again, Amazing build.
