Harry P. Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 You need to paint the front side marker lights amber, not red, and rear-view mirrors.
MyBradKeselowski Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 You need to paint the front side marker lights amber, not red, and rear-view mirrors. Dukefan69, I agree with Harry, but other than that it is a dead on Bandit Trans Am
Joe Handley Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Looks like regular Testors orange on the front side markers to me guys
Tony T Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 The model is too clean!! Looks pretty good, Nick! Now add the mirrors and kick it up a bit!
Jello Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Looks good to me. The wheels need toned down with a few drops of water mixed with water base black paint. Just wash it in the wheels and wipe it up should do it.You can also buy a similar product called "The Detailer" black wash. I use it on all my wheels to give that deep realistic look. Other than that, good work. ~ Jeff
Guest Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 What's already been said Nick, Testors makes a botled turn signal amber and either stoplight red or metallic red, which are great for markers and turn signals. Use a silver base, or foil, under them. Good work buddy.
crazyjim Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Looks pretty good to me Nick. Where's Sally? Did you ever get the grille/bumper I mailed to you on 02/12/10? I got it, thank you would have been nice.
Jon Cole Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 She needs to sit lower... too much space visible above the tires. That added to what others here have said will put that back on track. You're almost there.
Nick Winter Posted February 25, 2010 Author Posted February 25, 2010 You need to paint the front side marker lights amber, not red, and rear-view mirrors. well Harry unless someone has mirrors for me, I'm kinda at a lose there, I've got the gold decals for the mirrors. actually the rear marker lights are red on This year of F body Pontiac, but yes I do on the front. Joe- How'd you guess that. Looks good to me. The wheels need toned down with a few drops of water mixed with water base black paint. Just wash it in the wheels and wipe it up should do it.You can also buy a similar product called "The Detailer" black wash. I use it on all my wheels to give that deep realistic look. Other than that, good work. ~ Jeff actually Jeff snow flake wheels on a Special Edition Trans am do have Gold inlays. Jim- sorry I forgot to tell you that on Monday I got it, been a little under the weather, and I'm just now kicking it.
Jordan White Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 (edited) actually Jeff snow flake wheels on a Special Edition Trans am do have Gold inlays. In the center, not towards the outside (to a degree). Edited February 25, 2010 by YJIslander
Nick Winter Posted February 25, 2010 Author Posted February 25, 2010 yes but those are not inlays they are openings.
Jordan White Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Haha I know, just pointing out in a way that on your wheels you painted the openings gold (where it should be black), and the center is still silver.
Nick Winter Posted February 25, 2010 Author Posted February 25, 2010 Haha I know, just pointing out in a way that on your wheels you painted the openings gold (where it should be black), and the center is still silver. you ever try to paint lug nuts that small on wheels that small?
george 53 Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Nick, just use a sharpened toothpick dipped VERY shallow in some silver paint an just touch it to the lugs, an that should do it! Looks good though, even without Sally an Burt!!!

Jon Cole Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Try this: Use a black, fine point permanent ink marker to blacken the BOTTOM of each opening in the wheels "honeycombs". This should not be confused with the sides, that you already pained gold. That will give the wheels some much needed depth.
