 | The
body color is navy, and trim striping is gold. The high impact-resistant
plastic body is painted on the inside to prevent crash scratches.
- So first, windows and the false bed are masked off (a brutal
lesson in precision), and a coat of royal, metallic blue was applied
intentionally heavily to generate runs that render a marble appearance
in the end.
- Second, the masking was removed, and the ND window sticker
(which also happens to correspond to my initials) seen on the
bed was trimmed to its edges and applied on the inside of the
bed.
- Finally, the whole inside surface is back-coated with glossy
black to create a tinted window effect, as well as darken the
blue.
That's an ND sticker on the door as well, and, indeed, a Nittany Lion
decal on the tailgate.
The body was the most tedious job, though the chassis and "guts"
were completed first and were far more pleasant to assemble (from
nothing but bags of screws, plastic pieces, and other miscellaneous
parts).
Body removed, gander at the "guts."
