Ford Mustang GT4 2018 KOHR Motorsports Gentleman Jim

[nwman]

Hi All - sharing my rendition of Tamiya's Mustang GT4 in the #60 KOHR Motorsports "Gentleman Jim" Livery. Spent too much time on this one trying to perfect the chrome look and replicate the exact livery as it ran in the 2018 Monterey Grand Prix 120 at Weathertech Raceway Laguna Seca. Took me two bodies as my first chrome attempt with Gravity Colors Chrome failed. The look was bright silver, and the clear didn't adhere well - paint came off with my masking around the window sills. Tried again with chrome vinyl which is what you see here. Laid the vinyl out like a body wrap, cutting them into more manageable pieces along the body lines. A handful of decals are from Indycals, and most of them I designed and had printed by Highball Graphics. Carbon fiber is a combination of Studio 27's and custom Scale Motorsports.

Thanks for looking!

Welcome to the forum, Nice Job on this the Chrome, came out real nice, as did the decals, good to see builders making more and more versions by creating their own decals. Chris

Welcome!

That chrome looks amazing! What kind of vinyl did you use? I've used Hasegawa's, and it worked well. It's just expensive. Also, thanks for the name of the decal printer. I've never heard of them.

Sounds like a lot of time and effort was involved but it turned out very nice.

Welcome to our corner of the auto modeling world, you're going to really like it here.

I'm just amazed at the decaling application, as well as the custom decals you made. The finished model looks simply amazing.
