I STARTED MAKING MY OWN CUSTOM NASCAR DIECAST WHEN I FOUND OUT HOW MUCH MONEY SOME OF THE OTHER DIECAST BUILDERS WANTED TO MAKE ME A CERTAIN NASCAR DIECAST CAR.I'VE BEEN MAKING CUSTOM NASCAR DIECAST NOW FOR ABOUT 9 MONTHS,THEY DONT ALWAYS COME OUT PERFECT BUT IM VERY HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS ON MOST OF THEM.IF THE ONE'S I START BUILDING DONT COME OUT JUST RIGHT I USUALLY SCRAP EM' AND START OVER,THATS ONLY HAPPENED A FEW TIMES.I ALMOST ALWAYS USE DUPONT PAINT WITH DUPLI COLOR CLEAR,I PUT ABOUT 3 COATS OF PAINT AND 4-5 COATS OF CLEAR FOR A GREAT SHINE AND YEARS OF PROTECTION OF THE DECALS.THE BODY OF THE CAR IS DIECAST,I DONT USE PLASTIC BODY KITS,I'VE HAD TOO MUCH OF A BAD EXPIERENCE WITH THOSE TYPE BODY'S AND THEY CANT HANDLE THE TYPE OF PAINT I USE WHICH IS AUTOMOTIVE PAINT.THANKS FOR LOOKING,ANY AND ALL COMMENTS WELCOMED AND IF YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE IM ALWAYS WILLING TO LEARN MORE TIPS. THANKS! SERG{3fan4ever}

DALE EARNHARDT JR. HAS A NEW PAINT SCHEME ON HIS LEARJET----AND HAS SOME STRIKING SIMILARITIES TO THE NEW COLORS ON HIS No. 88 CHEVROLET. THE FUSELAGE IS WHITE WITH A PAIR OF STRIPES----ONE ORANGE AND ONE BLACK.THE BLACK STRIPE FANS OUT AS IT STRETCHES FROM THE FRONT OF THE PLANE TO THE REAR,UNTIL IT BECOMES SOLID BLACK ON THE TAIL.THE FAA REGISTRY NUMBERS ON THE ENGINE READ {N8JR} SO IT LOOKS LIKE HE WILL KEEP THE No.8,AT LEAST ON THIS VEHICLE.THERE WAS SOME SPECULATION THAT DALE JR. WOULD CHANGE THE PLANES No. TO {N88JR} BUT NO CHANGE SO FAR.THE TAIL SECTION CARRIES THE JR MOTORSPORTS LOGO.
