Magnum Painting

And the wind would carry it and it would show up on cars and other objects. At least that's what my dad says. He's a professional painter and he has that kind of situation happen to him on job sites.

Is it just me or does Dragtser and Millie look a lot darker then they really are in this shot?

Which would mean that the red orange is a much lighter shade more like the one originally posted?

In that shot it woudl appear that it is the exact same color it was last year except shiny.

In other words I think the shots may be a bit color biased one way or the other, not intentionally however. *** Edited 4/2/2005 9:26:19 PM UTC by MaggieRider*** *** Edited 4/2/2005 9:29:48 PM UTC by MaggieRider***

Wrong picture. :)

Fixed ;)

That doesn't look like a Moly Orange, it looks more like a cherry red. Comparing the ride to Dragster, the track looks like a violet Red, but maybe once we see more pictures of Magnum getting painted we'll be able to make a better judgement.

Spraying would be a mess. The over-spray would get on things that you wouldn't want paint to get on, like the supports.

MrScott

The reason the paint is charged is to prevent over spray and to speed up amount of time it takes to paint large surfaces.

My theory is they paint the track first. The extra weight of the new coat of paint will make Magnum sink even faster. SO, they won't have to use as much paint on the supports!

Sorry... had to say it. :)

I'm happy because I'll get to work on a freshly painted ride, YAY!! *** Edited 4/3/2005 4:58:55 AM UTC by MichiganRollerCoast***

Those pictures are great! I cannot wait to see the red in the CP skyline!

Great job CP!!!!! Beautiful job.

That picture looks different: Walt's picture on my screen shows up red...

Someone must have edited that pic, the one that Walt posted on PointBuzz is deffinetly red...er

Who cares how red, orange,or reddish-orange it is, at least its finally getting painted.

If you look at the copyright they are both the same picture.

No copyright infringement intended on my part, just an example of how easy it would be to make it any color you wanted with photoshop.

I was just joking, I edited it. It's red :-P

The orange looks like the Iron Dragon colors...

They're painting Magnum purple?

That's just the primer: the real thing is going to be multicolored: like a rainbow!

Oh, makes sense, since purple is the primary primer color.

DO NOT post PointBuzz images to other servers. If you do, we'll boot you. You don't own the copyright.

I'm sorry, I was going to ask first if you would host it because it was copyrighted, but I didn't think it would be a big deal, I was just trying to be funny. I've only posted this here and I'll take the link out of my original post, sorry again.
