Kennyboy Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 ''very nice coat of paint'' and looks better with no stipes. Thank you Jeffrey. A closer examination showed that the stripes in the kit would not have been correct for the car anyways. The Super Snake has a thick white stripe down the middle with a small pin stripe on either side of it, whereas the GT500 has two stripes side by side.

Kennyboy Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 Got the headlight buckets in, taillights done, rear brakes done, and the rear wheels on so I did another body mockup to see what it looks like. Still have to do the black/carbon trim on the lower sills yet. Not looking forward to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrherald420 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 (edited) The black is easy, i used Tamiya 1/4 inch tape decanted some semi gloss black from Model Masters and brushed it on. Dried smooth and looks great. The hardest part was doing the black trim around the windows. Little tape and a sharp blade worked great!

jrherald420 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 That would work well also. It would make it a lot easier to see where you need to cut at than the tape was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaleb Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 It appealed, now get that masterpiece together lol. Only thing I see missing are the new car stickers from the dealer. I have yet to build one and put the "new car" smell for car shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennyboy Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 (edited) That is a nice paint job. Care to divulge what products you used. Thank you Gary. Sure, I used Duplicolor Perfect Match auto paint GM dark blue met. for the base, HOK Majik Blue pearl for the overlay and 4 coats of Rustoleum Lacquer clear (decanted and airbrushed.)

Kennyboy Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 Almost done. Need to paint the mirrors and install and that is it. Work has been demanding lately to say the least. A friend took some pictures of it on Sunday and I figured I would share them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick GMC Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Forgive me for saying this, but the wheels/tires look a bit too big. The entire build is awesome though. The hood turned out great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennyboy Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 (edited) Ya baby !!! Looks great. Nice job. Hey thanks Ray. Forgive me for saying this, but the wheels/tires look a bit too big. The entire build is awesome though. The hood turned out great. I appreciate your honesty. The 1:1 Super Snake has 20" wheels so that is why I went with something so large. Thanks for the compliment on the hood. Edited May 8, 2013 by Kennyboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
