From 1999, the Primestar Taurus with driver Kevin Lepage.
With seeing Bighoo's Tauri/Tauruses, I finally finished mine. Just had to fit the wheels and glue down hood. Was completed back in February, but just lost interest with it.
Double decals on the side stripe/number and is why I've split the contingencies, won't highlight the thick edge.
Lots of annoying mistakes with this, but trying to bury doubled decals in clearcoat is the worst. Car looks like it's covered in syrup.
But it is a great looking scheme overall. Some careful masking was needed and glad that I attempt it.
Used Fiat aerosols, RedOrange and Broom Yellow. And Slixx decals. |

Nice build, I haven't seen anyone do that one before. I've been slacking off on building that car |

Thanks to all.
It's great to finally get this out my workspace. But I did learn something with double decals.
The roof decals I do different, clearcoat between the two and no final clear finish. I'll do this with my other Slixx cars.
And to bigryan18, when masking it's very easy to slip up on the B pillars. The height difference of the yellow striping this side compared to drivers side.
