Short Track and NASCAR modeling

Somehow, I got silver paint on the roof and try as I might I could not get it off easily. It went right through the paint even past the primer so I will have to refinish the roof. This build is jinxed or I'm just a blank.

Came across this pic. Thought you might be interested.>

This is what your looking for......

Congrats to Sheldon. Boy, I'm dealing with a sad group of people. But they're a veteran bunch, and we will bounce back.

Thanks, Roadworm. https://www.modelroundup.com/category-s/152.htm

I just looked on the interwebs and didn't see it in acrylic. There is lacquer in a jar, LP 45, if you want to go that route. Or you could slum it up like us peasants    and use a rattle can

Thanks!! The oil bottles were cut and filed from styrene and the cans are from parts trees. I set up all of the labels in Adobe Illustrator.

Kinda took a page out of MarkJ's book for his IROC car by making each oil bottle individually.

Came out looking real good
