I layed down the base black on my ripper. I will un-tape it and paint the trim today. I will post pics soon.

 

looking forward to pics

 

Big Question ! I found a road ripper while on vacation this week. My real HHR goes in the body shop this week for hail damage (see my previous posts). I was going to prep my toy and ask the body shop to spray it when they spray my car. Will that paint stick to the plastic or am I just dreaming? It would be a perfect color match if it would work.

 

Dave, The paint will not stick unless you primer the Road Ripper with A Krylon or something similar. There have been some threads on this under new toy by Mike at SoCal.

 

There is also a plastic primer that can be applied, that allows other paints to adhere to...

 

go to your local HomeDepot or Lowes and they are sure to have some primer that will work, great idea, painted to match RR!!!

 

I used to show in lowrider and custom car shows all over florida, when I did, I got into doing models. Here is one that I did some "body work" to. I may get a RoadRipper and do some work on it.

 

Still need to do a little work around the edges, but here it is so far.
