This is the #99 Exide Taurus driven by Jeff Burton.
The model is a #99 Exide Taurus from Revell-Monogram. The decals are
mostly from the kit with the addition of a few fender decals from a slixx
separate fender decal sheet (Winston, Bud, Exide Select and NASCAR
stockcar) I did not use the pink part of the decals from the kit for the
fenders (I trimmed them off).
Painting and decals:
The chassis and body interior are standard light grey. The body was first
airbrushed gloss black. I then mixed a pink which as you can see doesn't
quite a match with the decal pink! The camcorder did however slightly
exaggerate the redness of the pink I put on the fenders. There isn't that
much difference although it is slightly more red. I then applied the
decals. Note:As I said I trimmed the pink part of the fender decals off
right up to the edge of the fender decals and the black stripe between the
pink and silver. I applied the roof number the hood and trunk decals
first. I used one of the rear quarter EXIDE decals from one of the
several #99 kits I bought for the trunk (since the kit didn't have one) and
also used the SKF decals as they were on the real car (Daytona) pictured on
the box. I then applied the modified fender/door number decals and the
rear quarter and wraparound rear bumper decals. I decided to use these
because it would have been very difficult to trim the sponsor decals from
these and even harder to paint the stripes on! Like I said if you were
here looking at this model in person you would see a difference in the
painted and decaled areas of pink but not as much as these pictures would
indicate! Lastly I applied the headlight, ford oval, little #99, Rousch
Racing and grille decals for the front and the little #99 and EXIDE decals
for the rear panel. I then dry brushed the silver on the hood and trunk
retaining pins and painted the center caps! I then applied the wheel and
tire decals. I also once again did flat exhausts on this model with both
coming out the driver's side but slightly different than the ones on the
#23 (When I decide on which way I am going to do these as a standard on my
models I will probably do a feature on their construction)
