is finally done and ready to take on all those Mustangs I did. It's a HO-Models body with RRRs TA wheels and lettered tires. Roof was sanded smooth (used to look like a convertible) and painted black. Unfortunately the red Sharpie ran around the tail lights when I dipped it in Future :(.

Jerry,
You must have missed my post about Sharpies and the effects of coating it with Future and some clearcoats. Can't believe how smooth it will run or drip. ;)

Still looks great! :thumbsup::thumbsup: Dave

Sweet looking bird Jerry! You might just red the whole back panel,
or use a black around the tail lights, then black in the back panel.
Looks sharpie either way. :thumbsup:

Under circumstances like this, is there a fix?? I believe I've read that windex will remove future. Will it remove the sharpie with it?? The sharpie colors running may be the answer I was looking for on another project I've been dragging my feet on. This may be the solution for "The Magic Bus" project that's been back burnered for what seems like an eternity!!
