1/18th Sprint Cars

yeah, no poop. I just bought a bottle of the chrome myself. they say you're supposed to back it with a water based paint. Not sure why it has to be water based...

 

[Bill Plude]

Maybe a paint with the same base will break it down.

You will want to use a water based black to back the SpazStix chrome...
For a cool colored chrome effect, you could shoot any transparent or "Hard Metal" color, then back it with chrome... Also, applying the chrome in multiple, very light layers will give you a better mirror finish..
You have quite the stable of toys Bill... Nice work bro..

TY. Did you look at the pics I posted? The gold to red color change paint needs to be backed with their "Gloss Black/Backer. It's an acetone and a ton of other "use with adequate ventilation" ingredients based paint. LOL. Whats cool is the little bottles have balls in them
Well the faskolor color change paints do too.

that sucks. I got rid of all my water based stuff.. oh well, guess I need to buy a bottle of Fasblack :shrug:

MiniT Sprint Car. I didn't get out to get the Chrome Paint yet. I'll have it for the next set of pipes. I'm doing the next Sprint with Black on the bottom (at least).

Bill,

do the bodies come with those sponsor decals?

 

[Bill Plude]

No. Some are Parma 1/24-1/32 slot car stickers

Updated pic. I didn't like the old #07 color. Wasn't visable enough....

The other MiniT Sprint Car I got this week. There'll be more. Now I've got to do the 2 MiniT modifieds I got.

The 1/18ths waiting for my son and I to finish the track in the back yard. It rained tha last couple days and he's in New Hampshire for the NASCAR race today.

OOPS, Gotta remember to put the antenna up in the #8 Car

 

[Lessen]

I like that 97 car, that one's pretty sweet

 

[Bill Plude]

I should have my "Bull Frog Racing" (Green and White) MiniT Modified body done later today. I'll just have to "borrow" a body for it to take the pictures. I won't be able to get the new MiniTs until next Friday or until my son gets some insurance money. He was in a bad accident. The guy he was with was driving drunk and he got hurt pretty bad. I had to pay for all his pre scriptions for now. Cool thing he at least listened to me, he called my lawyer and when the guys insurance company called offering 60 grand he told them to call the lawyer he didn't want to talk to them...LOL
