Peter it is a 71 Road Runner F/C. Looking forward to seeing that Deuce Coupe. Jeff came over to the shop Friday to pick up a few things and I showed him my deuce coupe. Not new I have had it for years. Mine fits the Super G+. I have a Vicky that I have been working on for the 4 Gear. It will be an altered.

Here is one of my 55 Chevy bodies. This one features Grape Pearl paint with purple metal flake. The pictures do not do this car justice.

I love double nickel bowties.That car looks pretty good to me,just like your Eagle Racing T/F I thought the pics at Atco didn't show the awesome paint as well as it looked in person.

Thanks Tom and Peter, I bought the metal flakes or (glitter) at Hobby Lobby. I do not spray it on. I tape of area I want brush with a binder and then sprinkle on. The flakes need to be ultra fine. I then allow binder to set and dump off the excess. I then coat again with binder. This holds the flakes in place. Then I clear coat several coats until smooth.
Peter I use a silver base coat for the grape pearl. However if I was painting say black I would just shoot black. Then tape and follow what I said above. Oh the binder I use is Pledge Floor Care. It is the old Future. It can be bought at Walmart. It dries in 20 minutes, tough stuff.

My mistake was thinking I had same paint...... color I have is candy grage........ was thinking you did it over black.......... grape pearl is total different shade....... have to look for it.......

Time to repaint my Dodge Neon MM/PS. Gotta make it look good for the race. My cars don't seem to do to well at high altitude. New car for a new track maybe my luck will change.

Robert, the 55 looks great! Love that color!!! I used to use Future to clear coat my cars but it started to yellow on them so I quit doing it.But then I didn't clear coat of that, ever had that problem?

Thank you, no I have not had that problem to my knowledge. I am not clear coating with Future. I am only using it as a metal flake binder (adhesive). For this purpose it works nicely.

Busy day today, gotta set up the track for test and tune. Thought I would cast some Bronze Gears as prizes along with bodies and tires. The gears will come as bag of 8 gears. Whoever gets them just think of yourself as beta testers.... ......for Eagle Racing. |

Success...  ...I think this is cool. I just completed my first design on Auto Desk. What was it, inquiring minds want to know? A Slot Car Wheel, for my silly foam tires. Now all I have to do is slice and dice it, create a point cloud and send it to the 3D printer. I have not learned that part yet, so stay turned.... |
