Bbo1974 Posted February 26 Posted February 26 Revell 2000 Ford Taurus (Dale Jarrett UPS) with 3 Amigos decals. Continuing my Bill Elliott builds (#17 of 21 complete). The kit went together great with hardly any modifications needed. I lowered the front a little and added Model Car Garage grille. Used Krylon paints with Duplicolor primer and Krylon clear coat. I have had some trouble with those paints but wanted the color to match my other McDonalds cars so I decided to stick it out for one more car. Thanks to some users on here for tips with the paint applications. I typically don't clear coat over my decals but with the 3 Amigos decals you pretty much have to apply clear coat as they have a dull finish (paper-like) after application. That said, they went on really well, they were thin enough to adhere to the contours but not so thin that they easily tore (in fact I never had a tear at all). I would use 3 Amigos decals again (and probably will if I decide to do a Mac Tonight Tbird). Next up for me will be the 2002 Dodge Intrepid. Since it is practically the same as the 2001 and 2003 models I am going to do the Viper SRT-10 paint scheme (decals by JWTBM... another first for me). 3
bbowser Posted February 27 Posted February 27 Very nice! That looks like a decaling nightmare but you pulled it off.

I didnt realize how many decals there were on this car! I probably shouldn't have stressed over the paint job as much... most of it got covered up with decals. It was definitely good practice for the upcoming Viper paint scheme.
