Popular Post maddmaxx ★ Posted September 15, 2020 Popular Post Share #1 Posted September 15, 2020 Although the pics don't show it, this RC drag car is really purple. This is the current iteration of my drag car. There is another body in the works but that may take most of the rest of the year to finish as it's an approximate scale paint job for the Motown Missile Barracuda from back in the day. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted September 15, 2020 Author Share #9 Posted September 15, 2020 The next body will be far less confusing to the camera lens. Lots of scratches on this one for kzoo as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really purple, very much like the Dodge color Plum Crazy from back in the day, but my stupid camera is getting edgy on me and seeing blue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted September 15, 2020 Author Share #17 Posted September 15, 2020 I have suspicions that the paint being on the inside of .040 of clear lexan is fooling the camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really purple, very much like the Dodge color Plum Crazy from back in the day, but my stupid camera is getting edgy on me and seeing blue. I had a 70 Charger - Plum Crazy with black vinyl top and matte black stripes. I'm just color blind enough that I didn't see the purple unless it was next to a blue car. My 99 Dakota is Deep Amethyst. Depending on the light, it looks blue, purple or black. WoW loves purple and always called it our purple truck. The clear coat started peeling within warranty. The district rep for Dodge authorized a full repaint. The guy at the body shop remembered me saying she loves purple, so he mixed in extra purple flecks when he mixed the paint. Apparently a street rodder saw it when he was painting it. Wanted that color on his 32 ford with 392 hemi with mint green flames. Sounds weird until you see it! We are the only 2 with that paint formula on vehicles! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The black paint would strip off the bottom of the wing at speeds approaching 140. The lower front panels would chuck paint sections at any time because the metal appeared to be some sort of galvanized. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
