Ken Schrader #25 Bud Monte Carlo

[shunter]

I know it is another Bud build, i must have shares in Tamiya TS8 Italian red...hahaha I started this a while ago and for some reason never did the hood logo, so i now have and thought i would post these and i will shortly get onto the chassis. Decals are Power Slide and to say they are excellent is an understatement, they have gone down well with no setting solution just a hairdryer to get around some of the curves and into the recesses. There is a great sheen to the decals and the body have been covered in 2K prior to the decals going on, i wont clear this again now just a polish and that will be it.

Paint and decals look great.

Do I understand correctly that you're not going to seal the decals before polishing?

No i wont on this one, i am happy with the gloss on the body and the decals have a great sheen to them so i feel it is good enough.

Polishing!

I never polished any of my stock cars!

Only one time i saw stock cars in real ... three Grand Prix of Petty Enterprises at german Lausitzring Eurospeedway inside the pre-program before the 2001 PPG Indy Car "American Spirit" race

and i own more than 7500 pictures out of the www of stock cars from NASCAR, ARCA, USAR, USAC a.o.

Is a high gloss shine polishing really on stock car bodies?

The polish will be to clean any decal residue off the body and to just give the decals a clean look. If I wanted a full shiny finish I would go over them with a 2K finish.
