Shiny New Car


This slush cast car was a total wreck when I got it.


I stripped the paint off first.  I used Simple Green, soaked it for two days, thanks Wyatt for that tip!


After painting it about four times, I used the chrome to highlight the bits.  I also added a plastic steering wheel.


I got the wheels from a Hot Wheels truck.  They fit perfectly.


I must have used six coats of gloss coat on it.
