CadillacPat Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) " MatchBox Route66 SWAT HighWay Patrol VW Camper Van " This is a great casting for my Promotional Customs. A perfect canvas with lots of room for high resolution graphics and custom paint. Watch for more in my series of Route 66 SWAT and HighWay Patrol Customs. See more of my Route 66 Customs at my ROUTE66CUSTOMS.COM http://route66customs.com/ http://purplepassioncustoms.com/ Even the SWAT Teams like to travel in style. What better way than in a 1970 VW Camper Van with WoodGrain Graphics and Custom interior. The body is Stripped and then undergoes a lot of filing and sanding to clean out and smooth all the window openings and the wheel wells. A few casting ridges along the body must be filed down and sanded and then the existing factory headlights are drilled out for my signature RhineStone inlay. Casting is then rubbed down with #3 Steel Wool for a nice overall surface consistency and then on to Primer. Primered and then shot Shimrin White and then SnowWhite Pearl. Decals go on the body and the roof insert, roof insert is secured into the body, and all images are masked off with liquid mask. The whole thing is shot Black, mask is removed and HOK Candy Pagan Gold goes on, then HOK Urethane ClearCoat with a heavy dose of Aztec Gold Pearl Powder Additive. Plastic base bumpers are sanded smooth and then it's shot with Adhesion Promoter. It's then shot Black and then ClearCoated with HOK Urethane Clear with Black Pearl Powder Additive. Interior is airbrushed with Adhesion Promoter, then shot Shimrin White, then a special Green mix and then ClearCoated. Everything is assembled and Riveted together for a nice permanent professional job. The color changes from Black to Glossy Brown and explodes with colors in direct sunlight. I have a Tutorial coming up about Pearl Powders. Anyone using Pearls for their Paintjobs needs to know that the only way you can see the full effect of Peral Powders is to take the Model out into full direct sunlight. It becomes an entirely new and different car. All Products Used Are Exclusively House Of Kolor, Of Course!!!!!!!!!!!! High Resolution Decals are printed on Clear InkJet Decal Paper from Papilio.com Scroll down for one more picture, Edited May 2, 2012 by CadillacPat
