HMMWV (Humvee) Pinewood Derby Car

Step 7 Painting

Choose the color you wish to use, and lay down light coats just like the primer. Your don't want runs in your paint after all of your hard work. The picture below shows my son's car after three coats on the bottom and one coat on the the top and sides. It is a good picture to demonstrate that one should use a light colored primer for light paint jobs, and a dark primer for dark paint jobs. Notice the black showing through? After a few more layers it is nice and orange.

My son chose Krylon OSHA orange. There are not a lot of color choices, but it is a great Dukes orange. An added bonus is that each coat is dry in 12 minutes.
