Finally got these two off my workbench! Here are two additions to my ever-growing Newgarden Collection.
The Devilbiss Car was a quickie conversion of a 2016 Montoya Devilbiss Car. Just hard to scratch of Montoya's name and replace it with Josef's. Had a little boo-boo with the shark fins. I tried to take a very small Penske 50th anniversary logo off without taking the Verizon logo off and ended up taking the paint all the way down to the black plastic. It took me a while to try to match the paint but I think this was as close I could get (it is a combination of Testors Orange and Testors Tangerine)
The PPG Car was it's own separate beast. I've learned that I really stink at laying long decals. I ended up trying trim tape for the first time and was generally pleased with the results. The main challenge was getting the U-shape on the nose to lay properly. I ended up hooking it around the nose but it is still a little sensitive to movement if touched.
Special thanks to Gary at GWS for all his help with these. Next up, converting a 2017 Montoya Fitzgerald car to a 2017 Newgarden and trying to finish a 2016 Fuzzy's Newgarden (more long decals....Yay!
)
