Slime Green Road Runner

[ecr]

Here is my old blue Carrera Superbird car that I never used.
Thought I would change it to something I will enjoy running.

Street racer with 70s rake,and a big handlebar mustache :o
Hope you like it . :whistle:
Thanks

Slime green, eh? An old friend of mine in high school had a green Plymouth Satellite Sebring that we called 'The Green Slime'. Loved that car. :)

Sublime Green. At one time, there were Sublime Green Roadrunners, Challengers, and Chargers running all over Memphis. The Chrysler dealer had a daughter who loved the color, or at least that was the generally believed story among us kids in 1969. I liked Go Mango and the unusual red from those days, too. It was called Charger Red, but it was available on several Dodge cars, not just the Charger. Not nearly as popular as Sublime Green, though. You really got it just right, ecr.

Thanks guys
The base color of green was found in the wallmart craft section.
Thought I'd try some water base,after shotguns post,and It being so cheap.
Everything went as planned UNTIL my automotive clear did not dry for days.
After some PMs to shotgun for ideas, :music-rockout: It was concluded the
problem was mostly the lack of heat,making the finish product slow to kick over.
I'm now considering installing some front doors and putting heat into my
spraybooth. Just another REAL GOOD REASON to move to warmer climate. :violin:

Thanks shotgun for all your help :clap:

Nice work. Looks great.

There were some fabulous colours around in the early 70s. Even the names were pretty spectacular. Vitamin C? Plum Crazy? Limelight? Great names. Then things went wrong and we got Banana Plush. Yecch on all levels.

Now that looks like it will be fun to run.

Low key went right out the window!!!

Always liked the color, and almost used it on the 40 sedan, BUT it is so well know
as a Chrysler trademark it would not have looked right on a FORD.
The 40 will get something ELECTRIC for sure,Just not sure what yet. :think:

Love the car & the color!
Hot Rods, Rat rods & Customs is always cool in my book.

I've been using water colors for ages you car clear over it with Future, Krylon or Rustolem they all work fine.
Hope it helps ... J Y D

Automotive Dupont Chroma-clear is what I used, but it does not air dry well.
I used it before on some other cars with no problem BUT it was in the middle of our
summer 75-85 degrees. And left it to dry in the hot sun.Can't do that now,it's only
30-40 degrees. :occasion-snowman:
