This was originally to be the #99 Exide Taurus of Jeff Burton. In fact the
pink on the car
had already been painted, but Wetworks indicated that they were coming out
with the
decals for the Cartoon Network Powerpuff Girls car and I waited for the
decals to be
released and would convet the car to that car. The Exide pink was a custom
blend, but
the decal manufacturer recommended the Testor's Hot Magenta. I had some
trouble
finding this color at the local hobby shop and I first tried
unsuccessfully to blend my
own. Eventually I did find the Hot Magenta and painted the car overall
pink. This was
my first experience with the Wetworks decals, but they are printed by
Cartograf of Italy
one of the best so I knew they would be great. They went on easily and
conformed to
the curves without any problem. A little Solvaset was necessary for the
big hood decal.
I think this car is a great departure from the standard NASCAR. It is a
whimsical and
unique scheme. The colors are eye popping.
