"Just match the paint to the stripe/decal, ultimately that's what it has to match anyway, right?"


In a perfect world that would be true, but...

I haven't ordered the stripe yet, so nothing to match it to.

I'd like to let the paint on the body cure for a while before I apply the stripe.

You are not supposed to order the stripe until you are ready to apply it.

Projects can be put aside and next thing you know, your "new" stripe is a year old.

We need to paint the wing late this week, or early next week, the car comes home

on the 27th.

I had no idea this would be this difficult, surely someone, somewhere has painted a

white wing recently and can reply with "You need brand X, code YYYY" or

whatever :shruggy:

Thank you very much, sir. :coolgleamA:

That car (The Radke blue and red one) is one of the reasons I'm hooked on Wing Cars, I still have the muffler ad and Hot Rod Road test, and I built a 1/25th model of it in the 70's, using parts from the race version to modify a regular 69 Charger, ast the street Daytona kits were not available yet... It's one of the only ones I still keep in my showcase...



Ben

PS, sorry to hijack this thread on your beautiful project!


That's a good looking model. :coolgleamA:

I remember that car from the "Automobile" cover from years ago.

I still have that issue around here, somewhere.

As I remember, it was only on the cover and not featured in the magazine? :scratchchin:

Ah , understood.
Glad Mike was able to help you out.
He just helped me out with my Daytona project too, he's definitely a good egg  :yesnod: :2thumbs:

Thanks, Guys :coolgleamA:

I'm sure that green convertible will be back up and runnin' before my car sees the road.

The drivetrain budget is lookin' a little weak, right now...

::)



BUT !

I've got all kinds of cheap/free stuff to do before I have to cough up the dough for

the engine, trans, etc. ;)
