MONTE CARLO NASCAR

yep its another nascar this one was Kellogg's number 5-(1997) Monte Carlo,as I got it with out box and decal sheet,it will be changed as I now number 1 coca cola 600 decale sheet it will be painting it monza red

NASCARS are colourful - the Kellogg car looked real neat for its day. I'll be watching your NASCAR builds with interest.

Tezza43 thought I build a few nascar's up for a change of pace, as I have not built any since 1974 when I built only stock cars and funny car.

Allan this link let's you see videos of some superdetailed NASCAR model cars in the USA. It's worth a look.

Thank's Tezza43,have seen that in a magazine don't think I will be going that far with mine,Oh forgot that I built a Buick nascar back in the 90's,the monte carlo will be built as is no fancy bits on it.

just got some grey primer on this one will put some gloss clear on it so it will give me the light grey colour for the inside parts,also found out that the red coca cola car never raced but was used to pronope the coca cola 600 races,there was a black coca cola that raced still it will make a nice model.

got some primer on it,will let it gas out before light sand it back with 2000 W/D,will clear coat the inside off the body before I put red on the outside,not going to rush this one will be all auto paint on this one.

painted the engine and other parts on this one,going slow with this one.

clear coated the undercoat on this one,asked a young lady at paint shop for coca cola red,we found a red that matched the colour of label on the bottle its called Fine Red its very close to what I am looking for.

got some colour on it,yep buggered it too ,thought I warmed the rattle an up but it still came out very thick,will be packing evey thing up untill the summer,colour is close to coca cola red.

I would not put it away, id just give it a bath of caustic soda and hit it again with some colour. I have had mixed results with warming the paint myself and now tend to sit the can upside down for a couple of hours before hitting the model with it and have had good results.

Shayne have looked at the body now its dryed a bit more it looks like red orange skin all over it will wet sand it back as far as I can then repaint it but will use my airbrush as I have better control ,I also noticed that the paint is a lot thicker,one qustion for you or anyone with decals which is the best way clear body add then or put them on then clear over them.

I usually lightly sand the body back and then decal and then clearcoat it with 2K

well with a lot of sanding back the body have repainted it but this time I put the red in the airbrush put on 3 light coats and 3 heavy wet coats got it to work out better its outside drying in the sun.will leave it for a week before I do anymore to it,thanks shunter for infor on clear.

repainted the body,colour is darker as it was taken in shadow took one in sunlight it turned orange,few small marks to fix.going to wait a week before i do any think with it again.

Can see the difference already, a lot better.

Thank's Kane,ya it came up a lot better got to get some 2000 wet/dry to take out a few mark's in the paint surface on the roof and boot lid,

I agree looks smoother and should pop with clear over it.

Ya shunter its come up a lot better almost smashed it will give it a light sand back with 2000 wet/dry then give it another coat of red.
