Theme Colour Change - Part 1

Retro Rock-It requires a nice rooftop pod for storing the spare fuel - much the same as Booger Mobile did...  however, the bright green doesn't quite marry up with the maroon Retro Rock-It!!


Snot Funny!!


First up, good bye boogers...  some paint touch ups required to Giggle...


Next, what to do with the side LED's...  Damian figured that removing them and refitting was counter-intuitive, so taping them up to create a racing stripe might be the ticket!!


Off with the amber rotator to allow painting to occur...  Amazing what a colour difference there is!!


Taping up around Giggle on the front - this will allow for painting to occur without encroaching on Giggle's face...


Time to apply some black paint...


Looking good...


Believe it or not, the whole thing is black, contrary to how this photo makes it look...  The Giggle face on the rear has been sacrificed as it was black...


Looking pretty good...  time to let it dry overnight and then apply a second coat in the morning!!


The shift from Booger Mobile to Retro Rock-It is now almost complete...  not without continued sadness on Damian's part, but when he looks at the transmission fluid leaking AGAIN (under Booger Mobile), he realises that he's made the right choice...

Stay tuned!!
