I got this body saturday morning with some paint....A 1970 Elcamino....worked on it all day saturday till 5:00 sunday morning, got a little rest then started again at 10:00 sunday morning till just now.....I masked everything and painted the silver (chrome) first....after drying i took off the mask, made decals on my printer and glued them to the inside of the body then let that dry & painted candy purple which is sorta transparent colour....When that dried i backed it with silver paint so the body looks metalic.....caint wait till i get finnished !!! let me know what you think about the body on how it looks..........

Not in the rattle can silver paint.that can is rustolium i used on my sons bicycle.....i used the small bottle of pactra racing finnish indy silver, thinned it & brushed it on......dont have a air brush for painting yet.....the reason for the silver paint is cause the purple i used you could see through and was trying to get a metalic look out of it....the picture was taken late at night about 2:00.....it looks better in the light.......if you want i can post the finnished body picture later on taken outside so you can get a better look............

One thread on your new body is all you need, I have merged the two threads. Please do not post the same thread in multiple forums, thanks.

One thing I now do with all my bodies is I cut out the inside of the window stickers and I just stick on the frame of the window. That eliminates the hazy look you get when putting a clear sticker over a window.
