New Pro-Line 72 Chevy Shortbed Pickup
Here are some shots of the New Pro-Line 72 Chevy Shortbed Trucks I have painted...These New Models from Pro-Line are very impressive. I have always liked the HPI and Pro-Line bodies the best, I think they look closer to the real thing (most of them anyways). These are the nice .060 thick bodies and are very ridgid.
And
And I did a wood bed look...Looks okay
Here are 2 more
And
Hope you guys like them...
Oh Yea, here is my web page I am putting together with some of the stuff I have done. Keep checking back as I am constantly updating it.

RE: New Pro-Line 72 Chevy Shortbed Pickup
I taped the bed using 3/4 in tape with 1/16 in tape between the 3/4 pieces. I would then pull off one 3/4 piece at a time to spray the first coat to give it it's own unique look, otherwise if you shot it all together it will look like a full sheet of plywood and not give the same effect....
I painted each slat individually with Auto Air Beige paint (pretty heavy) and then drug a peice of scotchpad over it. I would then hit it with a hairdryer and move on the the next slat (remove the next peice of 3/4 tape). Repeat until bed is covered. Then I went over it with Auto Air Lite Brown (even though they are now all exposed, I still only did one at a time) and used the same technique of dragging a scotchpad over the wet paint, dry each time with hairdryer.
The next step was to duplicat the second step but used Auto Ait Dark Brown. I would then I pulled off all of the 1/16 pieces of tape and hit the whloe bed area with Alcladd II chrome, followed by a black backer....DONE
Of course with everything, practice the scotchpad technique on a 1 litre coke bottle to get the hang of it. I tore mine in half and used the ripped side for a more uneven look.
Here are a couple of other ones I did but I did not use beige because I wanted a darker look
And
Check out some of my other stuff...
