1/64 Scale
Heavy Chevy Camaro!!!
One of several KB Kustoms at
the
recent Irvine Convention!!
Done in a very SHIMMERING
CANDY BLUE
Metal Flake!!!

NICE GHOSTY FLAMES!!!!!!!

SPARKLES LIKE A DIAMOND!!!!!
100%
Hot Wheels Release
"Candy Blue MetalFlake"
Heavy Chevy Camaro!!!!
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 incredible sparkle of the
MetalFlake in a still picture....TRUST ME....IT SHINES!!!!!

This
is a color that is not done too often because of the work that it
takes to make it smooth after the large flakes are applied, but,
it really looks great....and if you saw this one in Irvine, I think
you will agree...if not....well, just wait until you are holding
it in your hand!!!!!!!!
As for the rollers....I chose a set of kool Preferred Series Slotted
mags and 1/16" brass tubing was used for new longer axles both
in front and back. These axles were then secured to the base with
JB Kwik and meticulously LEVELED so that all four tires touch the
surface at the SAME TIME and the is NO rocking!!!!
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
and Createx Auto Air for the Flakes.
I started with a super smooth automotive grade primer and this was
sanded and reprimed twice!! Then I used Createx Auto Air black base
and followed this with their Hot Rod Sparkle Metal Flake!!!
HOK SG-100 intercoat clear was then applied and after this was dry,
the entire body was coated with FOUR coats of HOK Candy CHERRY RED!!!!
This turned out SO KOOL that I just did not think it needed Flames!!!!!!
Finally, Clear was shot on in 3 coats...sanding with 1500 grit two
times in the process to get the metalflake even with the surface....which
makes the finish WAY SMOOTH!!!!
This is INCREDIBLY KOOL!!
The base, bumpers, grill, and engine were detailed with Alclad
Chrome!!!! Candy Red for the tail lights finishes it off!!!!
