martinfan5 Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 For some reason I am on this kick, or push to get all the DOT cars done, so I am on my way to making that happen. I have four more to do , so I am working three of them at the moment. I still need to get the decal sheets for the #51 Exxon 46 City and Superflo scheme's , I will be using Powerslide decals for the Exxon and Superflo, winscals for the City Chevy decals, and kit decals for the Hardeez. I was already to start paint the City Chevy, but learned real fast that the florescent yellow was not going to even be close, so with not being able to find neon green and yellow, that lead me to placing an order for the correct colors from Model Car World Finishes, its not a cheap order either. So as of right now, I have three Luminas almost done, and they are going to be the Hardeez/superflo/city cars. I have one more Lumina kit one the way that was given to me by Futurabat (thank you) I am still trying to decide what color I want to use for the Hardeez car, in the movie it looks yellow, but everyone paints it orange So the bench looks the Hendrick Motorsports shop in the 90s now
hooterville75 Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 Looks good so far. Id love to be the one getting frisked by the lady cop that pulls them over in the movie ha ha ha ha. Just watched it again on Directv the other day. Great movie. Anxious to see all the kits finished when your finished with all of them.
bbowser Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 The movie didn't live up to the hype at the time, 'Top Gun' in racecars, but I love it anyway. Cars are looking good!
hooterville75 Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 What Black did you use for the Dash and Bars on the roll cage ? Black looks really good.
martinfan5 Posted October 27, 2012 Author Posted October 27, 2012 What Black did you use for the Dash and Bars on the roll cage ? Black looks really good. For the dash, I used wal-marts color palace cheap flat black spray paint, and for the roll bar padding, model master flat black jar paint
martinfan5 Posted November 10, 2012 Author Posted November 10, 2012 I got the Hardeez one painted,not sure I am happy with color I went with, but its the least of my favorites out of the DOT cars , I am in the process of painting the city chevy, need one more coat on the yellow, then I can get the green on, not much else has been done
martinfan5 Posted November 10, 2012 Author Posted November 10, 2012 Oh no, these are no way going to be seen in person on any table , these are only for the shelfs Just got done getting the city chevy painted, need a few touch ups , but its good enough for me, pics coming soon
Danno Posted November 11, 2012 Posted November 11, 2012 Many good modelers underestimate their own builds. The crowds at GoodGuys enjoy a wide variety of models! The kids and NASCAR fans LOVE the Days of Thunder cars!

The kids and NASCAR fans LOVE the Days of Thunder cars! I would bring them, but I wont have them finished in time , dont have all the decals here for them yet I just thought of a line from the movie that fits you, your one hell of a sales man Edited November 11, 2012 by martinfan5
martinfan5 Posted November 11, 2012 Author Posted November 11, 2012 Here are the 46 and 18 bodys, the 18 have been clear coated, the 46 I think still needs another coat of green
martinfan5 Posted November 24, 2012 Author Posted November 24, 2012 Got the decal sheets for the 51exxon and 46 superflo, starting getting the decals on the 51
martinfan5 Posted November 27, 2012 Author Posted November 27, 2012 (edited) Thank you Bryan Body is decaled, so up next is to get the rest of the kit finished , I do know that the window net is red, but as you can see, I forgot about it when I painted it black, so I am going to have to fix that I thought I had other pics posted of the other cars, but I guess I just took them and never got them uploaded , or if I did, they seem to have gone away. I got most of Hardeez car decaled, and the City Chevy has been painted, and I started to use some of the kit decals, but have the winscals decal sheet on the way, so that justs leaves the Superflo , just need to get the pink paint Edited November 27, 2012 by martinfan5
martinfan5 Posted November 29, 2012 Author Posted November 29, 2012 The City Chevy decals arriver today, now I can get this one finished up
Droppedgmc Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 can't wait to see!! what winscals were they?

martinfan5 Posted December 11, 2012 Author Posted December 11, 2012 Getting to home stretch with these builds, got the paint on the last one, the #46 Superflo, I used Testor florescent pink enamel and painted it using the A/B
hooterville75 Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 Looks good. Like the shade of pink on this last one.
Truck parts Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 Very nice builds. Looking forward to seeing them done.
Roadracer Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 All your DOT cars look fantastic! I was just wondering what paint you use for the chassis grey color?
