Hey Tim.
What have you been using to paint yours with? Rattle-can, paint brush, airbrush?
Oh, on the 62, they've come out with a fourth color. Black with yellow/gold on the side. I haven't seen any in stores yet though.

Who is going to make the first 1967 Flatbed Dually for the Fast and the Furious bunch here? I think it might be a cool thing to do.

chevy72tk · 08-27-2008, 08:06 PM

racing champions made the first ff movie cars so they might make it,but the cars were small, and not much detail

Robert,I`ve just used rattle can.I have one of those little compressors and an air-eraser (mini sandblaster) attachment and haven`t gotten an airbrush,yet.I just fill a cup with stripper and dunk the body in and forget it awhile,then hose off the paint.I`ve been using red oxide primer (my favorite),then the color.I`d like to do a bc/cc with a polished finish.Mine are just sprayed and done deal.
That`s funny the new`62 is black.I`ll have to check those out.I was considering doing this one black.I don`t know if I`ll try another factory-like color or go with a custom color like a silver-base candy pearl.Maybe I`ll just swap the new body onto this chassis.

90\87Formula · 08-28-2008, 11:37 AM

Thanks for the reply Tim. I'd never heard of an air-eraser, I'll have to check into that.
Here's a pic of the black '62 from http://www.hotwheelscollectors.com/S...sneak/archive/

Did you end up getting this truck? I had it on my Ebay watch list and forgot to watch. All in all, I am glad I didn't bid you up on the price.
