crazyjim Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Just finished 2 builds and here's the first one. This 442 is painted in HOK magenta kandy over lapis blue. I recently was able to score an HOK color chip book and this is the first example I tried. Hope you like it. I wanted to use the kit air filter, but it would have covered all the work I went through. I make these little easel signs for all my builds nowadays. At some contests I add LED spotlights and sometimes mirror bases I LOVE the Rustoleum texture paint.

crazyjim Posted April 13, 2013 Author Share Posted April 13, 2013 Thank you all so very much. Having the HOK color chip might be dangerous for me. So many new color options. Everyone should try the texture paint. It's really cool stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyjim Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 Thanks, Al. In the old days, when I didn't do fuel lines or carb linkage, I would've used the kits' HUGE air filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
