Pastel pet

[clayton]

Started this Christmas as a junk yard,spent this week painting. while looking for idea's I found a photo of one painted like this. It is close I think it will work. Need to clean up and go over a few spots. It's going to be some time before I try this again. The chrome had to be removed for that will use dupli color bumper chrome. (Does any one have a set of the tiny lights that goes on the fender?) resin will work as well. Clayton

Well what do ya think now. Had to remove the chrome will repaint with bumper chrome next week. And the sleeper from the parts box for those that don't know it is call a mercury.

I started to have a white border on the upper part of the pink/watermelon as it is called. I may look in too in a few days when the paint drys good. Dupli color primer,enamel white the rest is krylon there after. That paint drys in 10 Min's that I like just not crazy about the gloss I prefer flats or stain's. They lay down and dry better than gloss.there new EZ Touch 360 tip helps too,if they would have more flats that would be great.

thanks too all. I out did myself on this one,being the first time at using more than 2 colors and a stripe as well.

Painting the tanks and box did tone the white down a bit,that did hurt the eyes a bit.

[Jim B]

I like the painted tanks. It's different.

[Sergey]

Looks nice. I would use chrome tape for tank straps.

[clayton]

Thank I may do that.Was going to leave them white,just do not look rite.
