Vandaag toch even dieper gegraven... Op modelbrouwers kreeg ik een site toegezonden met replica's op. Ook hier een verscheidenheid aan kleuren boven de rode lijn. Toch las ik dit:

The vans used were made by GMC, but In the show there was no mention of what model or specs the van had, and because so many vans were used for filming it's almost impossible to be specific.
The van was painted black below the red stripe and gunmetal grey above. Although many people remember it as just black.
We do know the van was fitted with:
Quad tipped exhaust
Bullbars
Side-steps
Wheel flares
Spot-lights
Exterior Sunvisor
Roof Wing/Spoiler

The van is a 1983 G-series customized by Universal Studios Prop Dept. The engine is a 350 cid with minor modifications done mainly the carburator and exhaust system. The wheels are turbine style 15" painted black with red accents with P235/65 15-front and P 275/65 15-rear. The main color is semi-gloss black-bottom, semi gloss dark gun metal grey metal flake-top with red striping. Other mod's include- quad headlight conversion, full front brushbar, fog/driving lights, exterior sun visor, quad square exhaust tips (each side in front of rear wheels), and custom made rear wing. Interior was custom-white naugahide bucket seats, shag carpet, and custom gun case in the back (Guns were Ruger Mini 14 stainless steel ranch model with side eject and paratrooper folding stocks-two were modified for full automatic). If you look carefully you'll see 3M grip tape all over the roof for scene's where stuntmen jumped onto it. It also had beefy shocks-air shocks in the rear-to improve handling. Scene's where it burns out were done by spraying bleach in front of and onto the rear tires which creates billowing grey smoke and helps it to spin the tires (it was'nt that powerfull, acheiving burnouts on pavement were difficult without help). The van (one of the six used for the show during its run), still sits-rotting on the Universal Back Lot-tires flat, paint faded, for tram tourists to photo-too bad.

Besluit.... Ik ga dus toch best Gun Metal plaatsen. Ik volg je raad even op Nismo om eerst het zwart te zetten en daarna te overspuiten met Gun Metal. Nu geven ze hierboven eerst Glossy zwart aan en de andere site Semi Gloss zwart... Ja zo kun je bezig blijven he. Het zal gewoon Glossy worden hoor !!
