AWARD WINNING
"Candy Fade FLAMES"
DAIRY DELIVERY!!!!
This is a 1/64 scale casting.
I can't stress this enough, these pics
ABSOLUTELY do not do this KILLER piece justice!!
It is almost impossible to capture the incredibly SMOOTH color fade
in a still picture....TRUST ME....ITS KOOOOOL!!!!!

The
Flames are REALLY NICE on this one and if you saw this one at the
Irvine show, I think you will agree...if not....well, just wait
until you are holding it in your hand!!!!!!!!
As for the rollers....I chose DUBS!!! The rears are from an Escalade
and the smaller fronts from a Silverado!! They were meticulously
LEVELED with SEVERAL precise modifications to the base and interior
so that all four tires touch the surface at the SAME TIME!!!!
Plus....it rolls GREAT!!!!!!!
The paint is ALL AIRBRUSHED (as with all my kustoms) PPG
and House Of Color AUTOMOTIVE paint, plus, Alclad Chrome lacquer.
I started with a super smooth automotive grade primer and this was
sanded and reprimed twice!! Then I used Alclad Chrome for the Flames...FOUR
SEPERATE LAYERS of flames at that!!!!
Each layer of flames was given one coat of Candy Red to Candy Purple
FADE and lightly sanded between each one!!!!!!!
These flames WILL more or less "melt" into the KILLER
Candy Fade in some viewing angles!!!!!!
Finally, Clear was shot on in THREE coats...sanding with 1500 grit
two times in the process which makes the finish WAY SMOOTH!!!!
The grill, Park, tail, and head lights were detailed with Alclad
Chrome...some Amber Pearl for the park lights and Candy Red for
the tail lights finishes it off!!!!
