Johnny Lightning Monopoly Camaro




One day I was bored and looking at this Johnny Lightning Camaro from the Monopoly series.  This car has a unique gun metal coloured chrome finish that looked really interesting.  My objective was to simply remove the Monopoly tampos from the car, but I ended up removing the gun metal finish too in my intital attempt.  What I did notice was the chrome shining through underneath, so it took me awhile but I managed to remove all the paint from the car.  What I ended up with was a completely chrome car!  I took it a step further by removing the base and replacing the original plastic whels with rubber white lettered tires.  Below is how the car looked before I started (pic courtesy of jlcollector.net).
