lillakev Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Excellent work, brings back a lot of memories. I grew up watching my dad drive a 7-car hauler.
ScaleModelAddict Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Great job on this. Tons of cool models in those pics.
jared388 Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Awesome job, coming from a car hauler. I run a cottrell stinger, but we recently sold a miller 7 car and thats as close as it can get.
kilrathy10 Posted January 26, 2014 Author Posted January 26, 2014 Thanks, Guys for your continued interest in this project.....This was a really fun one for me and I'm glad you guys like it.....I really appreciate the feedback....Thanks, again....
Rhino1100 Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Curious JT what did you use for orange paint. I am working on doing a orange and black 359. Looking close to the HD orange color.
kilrathy10 Posted January 28, 2014 Author Posted January 28, 2014 Hey, Gregg....I used Krylon's Chrysler Hemi Orange engine paint over flat black.....Excellent coverage.....You can find it at Auto Zone or Home Depot, even.....
Rhino1100 Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Great. I just so happen to have a can of that color I decanted. Thanks for info. If I can get half the paint job you got that beautiful truck I'll be happy.
kilrathy10 Posted January 28, 2014 Author Posted January 28, 2014 I get great results from that paint shot from the can....I think the flat black for primer is what brings it out.....I don't think you can miss with this paint....Good luck, Buddy....
Rhino1100 Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Cool deal. JT did you use Krylon branded flat black as your primer.
kilrathy10 Posted January 29, 2014 Author Posted January 29, 2014 No....That cheap Walmart paint....It's an Excellent primer as it's super flat...And cheap....At .98 cents a can, you can't beat it.....Also Home Depot sells a flat black that is a perfect match for Testors 1411 Flat black.....Also less than a dollar a can.....It's too cheap to ruin plastic.....
Rhino1100 Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Thanks again JT. Man I am sure glad someone else thinks like me on the cheap primer and flat black. I've been using both of them and had great results. As I've found if you prep right in the first place the cheap stuff works pretty darn good as a primer. I doesn't hide the details either. Super thanks again JT for the info. Man I learn something on this forum each and every time I visit.
kilrathy10 Posted January 29, 2014 Author Posted January 29, 2014 I'm glad to help out and I'm with you, Man....I learn something new every time I jump on this thing, too.....Man, these guys are good.....
Kostas Parchas Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 I can't believe that i lost this one. You have done great job on both the Peterbilt and the trailer. I like bumper to bumper and I like all those cars. Kostas.
