Jungle Jim Camaro F/C
Not my best work, I was fighting humidity and temperature problems while trying to paint this. It was drying faster than it would level, orange peel heaven. Took it down, shot it again, same thing. On advice from a friend, I tried more ventilation and shot it in the coolest part of a somewhat cooler day (hey, it’s the desert, it’s HOT out here! LOL!). 3rd time’s the charm, or maybe I’d just had enough of it by then! I was going to detail it a bit more but after all that I just wanted it outta my hair. I ended up doing just the lights and grill and sending it out the door. Thankfully the original decals worked out OK. Paint is Testors’ French Blue. All said and done, I think it came out OK.
