A co-worker gave me this truck many, many years ago (15+) because he liked my truck and saw this at a store.
This truck has all wheel friction drive. You push it and it goes and goes... It was green. I was bored after trying to do some work in the front room sealing those ceiling board joints since they opened up a little. I can't reach any higher without putting my scaffolding back up.
I saw this truck and thought...I've got primer and white spray paints. Do it.
I did ok taping, but I sure wasn't trying to do contest level prepping.
After sanding, priming and painting the white.
Getting the side ready for metalflake blue. I taped it off and then sanded, primed and painted.
This blue is close to what's on my truck. The blue on my truck is micro-metalflake.
I really liked FINNALY painting this diecast truck to look kind-of like my full size one.
From a distance, you can't see the flaws. The flaws will be fixed when I go to paint the black side trim with the chrome center. This diecast even has 3 ridges for that side trim layout. The tailgate has to be detailed also. The front of the hood and one rear side bottom needs more white paint. The windshield trim needs to be chrome along with the the side mirror's fronts. I just saw the rear taillights. I need red too.
Nice job!

I always wondered what you'd get if you crossed a Rottweiler
with a bat.
Pretty potent Woof Woof I'd say.
Might want to have it tested for any contagious infections though. 🦇😷

Those are some great high school cars for sure.
Your paint jobs look great from here.

Found out that Kennedy Space Center has a steady supply of E85 fuel. Very hard to find in Brevard County. Been driving 60 miles for it. Now I can run a E50 blend tunefrom ZFG Tunning. Now I have about 525HP. So much fun on this tune. It breaks all four 275/45/21 loose when it hits second. Pretty sure I'll end up in jail soon.

I guess that makes him a
