I do not have a clue :giggle
I just thought it would look good on the shelf next to my white UT Porsche GT1 and the AUTOart GT3R in plain white :danbana
Jeff you did an amaizing job on the model :nicejob :nicejob :nicejob , it looks so nice like that :cool , iv'e always wanted a street version of that lovely GT1, and was upset when nobody didn't make one :cry
Nice job Jeff. :nicejob
I wanted to do the same thing after reading Jeffs post. I want to strip the decals off a white/black clk dtm too. Hope to find those donor cars soon.
Jeff do you intend those side mirror pods as they are? I wish they were'nt made in plastc. All those wild decals hide so many design features of this car. Especially the bulge on the front fenders.
Felix-I use Testor's rattle cans. I usually strip the car completely with Klean-Strip aerosol stripper (got to make sure you get all the plastic parts off the diecast parts, as this stuff will turn the plastic into goo). Then I put on about two coats of primer, and then about two coats of color. After each coat of either primer or paint, I bake the car in the oven (at about 250 degrees F) for ten to twelve minutes, and then let it heat soak with the oven off for another ten to twelve minutes. You can usually put another coat of primer or paint over the first one after you have let the entire model cool down for about 30 minutes, or so.
