Smilinbri's 3rd Paint job-Senton 3s

[DavidB1126]

A guy at my old lhs track ran o believe a 2wd SCT and had a general Lee type body. Pretty cool.

Trying to get some different color schemes since most of mine are green, blue and burgundy.

Kept it pretty simple. Def need more practice on taping straight lines on the curved areas. Did a little better on the tint. Just one window had noticeable runs.

I don't know, Man. That's purple and black. Just calling it how I see it

Got any pics? That would dull the paint, but the body technically gives the paint a thick gloss layer, so the only way to achieve a true matte finish is to matte clear the exterior of the shell.

I'll look for my old bodies and see. I since moved to plastidip as it's more the effect I am after.

Thanks bud!!!

Funny you say that, my next shell I'm painting is the General Lee!!! Just gotta get an RC it'll fit on. I want to eventually do the actual cop car from Dukes of Hazzard.

I too was thinking of a general Lee and a sheriff car also! I bailed due to the fact I cannot take in another project. I still go over it in my head from time to time. I was gonna reenact movie scenes with them but lack the man power for everything.

Your MD PD car looks great. I can't find one blemish. Care to share the decal process?

That would be cool to do a short reenactment!

Thanks!
Nothin' fancy. Just screen shot the pic I wanted.....pasted them all to a word doc, cropped then and sized them to what I needed....printed onto vinyl sticker sheets.....laminated them....cut em out and stuck em on.

Thanks bud! Undercover one sounds cool. I mirrored mine off of the MD State police cruiser. Even printed the exact headlights, taillights, emblems and all from actual MD State Police pics on line and printed as stickers. Even made the windshield a picture of the inside of a MSP car, looking in. It was a blast to build!!
