Beware the fake mud
Alex's, comment is dead on, our MV Club was involved in a Minnie-Series shoot years ago, and they talked some owners into letting them put "easy cleaned off mud" on their vehicles some of them still had the mud ten years later. What was even worse/better is they convinced the owners of a B17 to let them paint over the tail markings with "water soluble paint that would wash right off" but the owner of the B17 having seen this before said fine but had them write into the contract that the movie company would remove the paint after shooting and if damaged the paint they were responsible for the refinishing cost. You guess the out come the “water soluble paint” didn’t wash off and the movie company had to pay for the repaint of the tail. In the end the entire week worth of shooting some 20 MVs, B17 and B25 along with all the actors etc. was left on the cutting room floor when the Minnie-Series was reduced in length by half.
Cheers Phil
