Introducing....PIMP-L

[Nacho Z]

Several years ago I played around with Krylon's Mystique and Dupli-color's Mirage color shifting spray paints. I chose two "round" bodied cars. For the Krylon I chose the VW Beetle. I wanted to do something outlandish but could not settle on anything. When I saw Scale Motorsports' zebra decals I knew I had found what I was looking for. Please keep in mind that I am artistically and imaginationally, (is that a word?), challenged Here is the result of the 'ol college try.

I'll post more pics in the next few days. Let me know what you think. As for the name, "PIMP-L", well that's another story...

nacho,

That does look pretty sharp. Krylon fusion, from what I remember, has some terrific results on rounded edges. Pictures never do flip-flop paints justice, but i'm sure it looks awesome.

For what it's worth, i think the perfect touch on the seats/interior would have been Scale Motorsport's faux fabric spray. The finish gives off a bit of a sheen and texture, kinda like a suede look, that's nearly perfect to scale.

Again, just my crit, but still, looks pretty impressive for the "pimpenwagon" car.

John! Your holding out on me again. I never saw this one coming from you. The zebra stripes look great. I have some of the Scale motorsports cow spots that may end up on a bug also.

Keep up the great work, and make sure you bring it to the next meeting.

Hey John. Did you at least paint the plastic before applying the decals?

Here is the finished PIMP-L. No contest winner by any means, but a fun build.

Looks good John. If I get you a real one of these, will you give me your 350Z? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
