Just finished my new Desert Rat

Thought you guys might want a look at my new shell for the Revo. It didn't quite turn out the way I wanted initially, but I think I salvaged it pretty well.

Comments welcome.







I know my truck is dirty, this thread isn't about that, it's about paint and lexan

It looks really good to me. What were you envisioning differently?


By the way, you should clean your truck!

Originally I used a black pearl for the stacked skulls to give it a softer "ghosted feel", and it washed out when backed with white. So, with great nervousness and care, I had to strip that area with brake fluid and redo it with the black backed in white that I knew wouldn't wash out.

Really should have tested first and I wouldn't have had to redo it, but I was in the groove feeling good, and spent a good week trying to decide whether I was going to just leave it or try to bring back my original intent.
