I remember when I did models a LONG time ago. I did a bunch of cars and would sometimes get bored with the finish. More than a few times I would mask up the car and give it a new paintjob as long as no decals were involved.

Here’s what I’m doing right now http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&friendID=201700894&albumID=1075526&imageID=11741292

I threw a quicky coat on the hood and forgot the primer but it gives a good idea what color it is…Boyd’s “Black and Blue Pearl”

Sorry I couldn’t get the picture to post directly…I’ll have to figure out why later.

Cool idea.

You can’t link directly with MySpace, and you have to have a MySpace account to access your page. Try signing up with Photobucket, it’s free, and you can link to images directly.

I just realized that post may have sounded a bit cryptic…I guess the question was about repainting old finished projects and the case in point is the Dodge Daytona I originally had painted red and am in the process of painting blue/black pearl. Does anyone else do things like this??

I forgot about my photobucket…Thanks. I am feeling a bit slow today

Here it is after the first coat…

Been a few weeks. Here’s a few more after starting to dry fit. Still need to clean up the window and window trim, add the exterior items and assemble the tail/front ends. Also getting ready to add a white stripe on the wing…

Almost done…debating over re-doing the stripe…

Nice re-do! I’d leave the stipe myself. Adds a touch of ‘wow’ to it.

edit* Oh yea, almost forgot - GO 'NUCKS [:D]
