Demon On Wheels
Demon On Wheels
Picked up this snap-tite a while back out of nostalgia. I used it as a test mule for 2K polyurethane automotive clear coat. It comes in a gallon can plus a can of activator. I've seen some awesome finishes and that's what the folks were using. So, didn't spend a lot of time on the kit itself and I also tried printed decals for the first time as well since the kit only came with stickers. Thumbs up on the 2K clear coat. The pics don't do justice to the shininess of the finish - probably white isn't the best demonstration color. Anyhow here's Speed's Mach5 - my first of 2022.
Thanks,
John

That is a great finish!

That rocks! I built the Polar Lights one and it didn't look that good! I couldn't get my white to look that clean to save my life!
Way to go man!

Hell yes!!!! One of my favorite shows when I was a kid! Certainly my favorite one on after school! Always puts a smile on my face to see a Mach 5

Nice! 
Never watched Speed Racer. I prefer Looney Toons.
