New track paint
Here are some pics of my recent paint job. I bought the materials and a local guy layed the paint and vinyl (black wing and # plates) for $200. The paint is base coat (Dupont chromabase Continental blue metalic) and clear coat (Dupont chromaclear). The body is OPP, sliders and fuel cap are Vortex. I still have Woodcraft clipons and some decals to add.
Hope you like it, but if you don't.

Oh...like you're some kind of expert on blue or something? Maybe you need to adjust your crap Mac monitor.

I think you need to adjust your monitor. ooops, forgot, it's probably "tweaked" from the factory to make everything a pastel color .

Looks great, and I like silver-blue. That looks just like a Peterbilt color from around 94'.

Re: New track paint
hey I have a mac (but a philips/magnavox monitor) and it looks blue/silver to me. It must just be his old eyes screwing with him.

if I can be corny for a second I think somebody pulled the wool over his eyes.


looks good. I like it. now can we have some action shots?

Very nice.

It does look green to me. Then again, everything is green here on my Apple IIc monochrome monitor.

Yep, I was a paint mixer in a previous time. There is definitely a green tint making it more Turquoise than Blue (does look nice though)

That's it...I'm leaving a Continental BLUE streak on your plastic next time we meet on the track. Hope you're ready for some contact.
