Tag, tell ya' what, if you find another remote control concept, let me know, and if you need to find a model or two, let me know.

I think I may be able to locate a few.

As for painting it, thanks for the nice words. I believe I spent more money on paint than what the model itself cost! :eek: When deciding what color to make it, I thought "why not make it similar to my SS". I was going to paint the entire seats and floor tan while keeping the dash and center console black, but I thought I'd "give it a twist".

I'd like to see GM offer two-tone seats.

I finally got "the OK" to drive yesterday from the Dr., so I think I'll get the SS out of the garage and go hunting for more concept Camaro "stuff"!

moose, i don't think i could ever compare to your model making skills. i do wanna share my pictures though. i wanna get another one of this model to make it black. how do you get your paint to come out so nice?

WOW! You guys have mad modeling skills. I'm going to have to finish putting mine together - I just haven't decided what color to paint it yet

Mr_Draco · 09-30-2008, 10:43 AM

BBfan, did the model come with the black stripes or did you paint them?

In any case, I painted mine black w/ black stripes, but the portion that was supposed to be gloss black was still dull... how'd you get that nice shine on yours?

Here's my version!!!

the stripes are actually vinyl stickers which i cut to shape my self. that was difficult and you can tell because the lines aren't perfect. what i did was give the car a primer coat and two coats of gloss yellow. i did one lite clear coat over the whole car and then put the stickers on. and i topped it off with another coat of clear high gloss.
