Sorry, not the greatest of photographers but excited with this result! Built this one up for my dad to match the cars we run on iRacing! chromehorn08 encouraged me to build this one up after seeing a screenshot of the paint. Car has a beautiful finish with the perfect "flake" in the white, and the opacity of the Miller decals was just perfect to match the shade of blue used on the aluminum bottles. Has some flaws, as always, but dad loves it! Thanks to John Edwards for the rear bumpers! Rear wing is done in a gloss white due to the fact that INDYCAR requires teams to use an INDYCAR supplied wrap for the rear wings, and they don't like trying to match your colors    |

Simple and clean, the way race cars should look. Very nice work, Mike!

I like it! You even got a little racing politics in there with the rear wing wrap. I love it! hahaha!
I wished we had major beer sponsors in the sport! Like we used to! Now the major beer doesn't hardly sponsor anything anymore.

Looks great! What's the reasoning behind the required wrap on the rear wing?

Looks great! What's the reasoning behind the required wrap on the rear wing? IndyCar requires wraps, from a specific 1 or 2 vendors, to keep the wing size consistent within a tight tolerance. Without this rule, a well funded team could spend untold $ on CFD and wind tunnel time to figure out if some "creative bondo-ing" when painting the wing would gain them a downforce/drag advantage.

Jordan So basically it keeps them from adding a quarter inch of paint in one section of the wing.  |

Looks great Mike! Go outside and snap a few photos so we can see the flake in the paint. Nice clean build.
