I filled in the sunroof and built a cowl hood. This was my first styrene project I have done. I feel it came out pretty good for my first attempt.

Banging paint job!!!!!!

Re: My clod body paint job!
 

looks killer. but with ur steady had you should put a silver pinstripe between the 2 colors.

Re: My clod body paint job!
 

I was wondering where you were going with the red, but it looks great with the black. And that cowl hood turned out great. Well done!

Re: My clod body paint job!
 

I plan on the silver pinstripe between colors. I am a little nervous though, never have done it before and don't want to mess it up!!

Any tips!

Re: My clod body paint job!
 

Cheat and use thin pinstriping tape . They have it in just about any color you want. And you can just peal it off , unlike paint if you mess up.

Re: My clod body paint job!
 

I definately like the pinstripe tape idea. I am going to clear coat it, Can I clear over the tape or should I clear it first?

Re: My clod body paint job!
 

I believe you can, but I would test it on something else first."thumbsup"

Re: My clod body paint job!
 

I want to do the bed rails with diamond plate. Any ideas on how to do that? Also want a toolbox for the bed would like to make it myself from styrene. Is there some scale diamond plate decals or something to make it look real?

Re: My clod body paint job!
 

This might B what U R looking for...
Hot Racing 1/10 scale aluminum Diamond Plate 9 x 11
Plastruct Diamond Plate 1/16 (2)

Re: My clod body paint job!
 

Yea I have been looking for the HR diamond plate but have been unable to find it in stock anywhere! Do they even still make it?

How do you finish the plastruct diamond plate? I am still kind of new at all this!

This is my first real paint job!!

Re: My clod body paint job!
