All decals were then applied. MONOGRAM kindly supplies the Dalmation "spots" as decals. Comparison to photos shows good reproduction of the prototype's "spots", which, in a photo in Winston Cup Scene which accompanied the above quote, also appear to be adhesive decals!
These were applied, along with numbers and contingency decals, and clearcoated with Tamiya TS-13 clear, in several fine coats (aerosol can - heated in warm tap water for higher pressure, and finer atomization...). Clear was then rubbed out with Turtle brand wax/polishing compound.
Mike continues to reach for the brass ring of a NASCAR points victory, and is very competitive in the Woods brothers CITGO ride - he just needs to pull the trigger at the right time. Mike is also one of the more glib personalities out there, and is fun to watch on Speedvision. Update - for the 1999 season, Mike will be moving to the Mattei ex-Geoff Bodine 7 car, with sponsorship about to be announced.
