You boys hungry?

Post by whodathunkit »

Here's a car I've been tinkering with that's got some weird paint changing to it. I don't know what made the paint change in this way. I'm going to call it "Fried Chicken".

I'm calling this car ''Fried Chicken" because it kinda looks like a chicken leg.

I use Krylon Glitter Blaster paints..
Citrus Dream & Cherry Bomb with the clear sealer to get to look this way.

Seth i thought you might like this look for one of your next coke cars ideas.
cause it kinda has that coke look also.

Just be ready to throw the paint can in the trash quick..Ha,Ha.
I must of got some bad spray paint or something...
"Seriously" when I was spraying the glitter paints the spray nozzles stuck down and would not stop spraying the paints.
So i hade to move quick to find a trash can to throw the paint cans into.
OH' the joys of painting.. sometimes things dont go as planed to get a cool looking paint job.

So just be ready.. and have a trash can close by if you try this paint on a car.

MOFAST What pics were you wanting to see?

I could show some pics of the spray paint cans showing how the painting nozzle stuck down on me.

It was the cherry bomb glitter paint can that gave me the most problems with the spray nozzle.

As far as pics of me running with the paint can in hand to find a trash can .. I dident take photos.
If they are the ones your wanting to see.

Whoda.

Good to know... be prepared if using Krylon Glitter paints!
Wouldn't it be easier to paint, and then manually sprinkle glitter??

You just might be right!

Seen this paint at Wal-mart in the craft section & thought it might just work for some cool paint jobs.
It was probably just a bad can of paint.. Anyhow.
OH' the joys and funny things that can happen while painting.

I guess that's why it was called cherry bomb.

We once had a can fall off the shelf and land on the nozzle and the nozzle jammed open. We did the same thing... ran and threw it in a refuse bucket. So I guess that reaction is instinctive.

The chicken leg looks great.. Col. Sanders would have been proud!

Thanks FS,

This just might lead me to do up another race car idea sometime.
Been thinking I might try to do the Clyde Torkel Chicken pit car off of the movie Stroker Ace.

Never seen one of those cars in a pinewood derby race.. but it might just win Best of Show..
For being the Fastest Chicken of the South. ;)
