Burnout Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 Very cool. I like it. I'm not surprised it took you a while. It looks like a lot of work went into this model.

kobuzz Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 VERY NICE!! How did you get the "black chrome" look on the bumpers and grill??
backyardinc Posted June 15, 2012 Author Posted June 15, 2012 ^ thanks everyone .... Hey scott , I used a spray kit from dupli color ,called shadow .... Its two parts , the shadow can which is transparent black , that you shoot over anything chrome , then special clearcoat that seals it and makes it more durable and shiny.... All I did was clean any chrome parts with dish deteregent and warm water , dried the parts good , then sprayed , the more coats you add , the darker the shade ..... Its pricey , but what isn't now a days lol ...
Harold Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 Now if this car doen't have a menacing air to it, I don't know what does. I like.
