WAAAAAY COOOOL!!!!!!!!
This was Entered in the Irvine Customs Contest!!!!

KILLER COLORS!!!!!
Hot
Wheels
"HOK PEARL FADE"
VW DRAG BUS!!!!
This is a 1/64 scale casting.
I can't stress this enough, these pics
ABSOLUTELY do not do this KILLER piece justice!!
The flames will melt into the base colors!!!

This "MACE" Chassis is pretty much
stock other than chromed rear wheels and those White Letter tires
and front Pro Circuit 5 spoke wheels
are VERY COOL!!!!
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 PPG URETHANE Black for a
smooth base to work with!!
HOK Orion Silver was then applied for lighter uniform color, followed
by HOK Majik Blue Pearl over the top and upper sides!! Then along
the lower sides I FADED in HOK Passion Pearl!!!! This looks AWESOME
together, but, I could not stop there!!!
After a coat of HOK SG-100 Intercoat clear, I used PPG Harlequin
Color Changing Red to Blue in a combination of TRIBAL Flames!!!
Some are from my new FlameMask sheets and others are my Hand Cut
loose masks and they blend sooooo well together!!
Finally, Clear was shot on in FOUR coats...sanding with 1500 grit
two times in the process....which makes the finish WAY SMOOTH!!!!
This is INCREDIBLY KOOL!!
And last but not least, the all the body "rivets", VW
Emblem, 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!!!!
