Skyline racer with flip-paint

[XMODification]

I have about 3 side projects (as always) and I just finished redoing over a regular black skyline that I had sitting around.

Here's it before:

It has a 4 colors flip paint on it but due it being overcast when I took those pics, it was kinda hard to get it to show the 4 colors ( Gold/Purple/Red/Orange - sometimes it looked green also).

Thanks for looking :) .

[Stampedekid]

[suicide_star]

[jabari]

[NitrOoflyBy]

Thanks, the paint actually comes like that - it's from a spray can also.:nod:

Thanks, i'm not too much for stickers also but I had this set from a JECS skyline laying around so I just went sticker happy:roll_eye: and plasted it with sponsor decals ( still looks good imo:bigwink: )

****! thats looking good

Thanks dude.

Very very clean.

It was my 1st time working with this kinda paint and it i had to redo it 2 times before it came out ok.

nice job xmodification, i love it, the stickers make it look like something straight out of a magazine =) i put flip flop paint on the front of my f150 dually, that stuff is nuts

Thanks dude, the flip paint is awesome indeed. The next time I think i'll only get the 2 color flip-flop paint - it's more easier to see the different clolr change in the any lighting.:nod:

[DRFTKO]

Simply amazing. Reminds me of the Signal Auto R34. Keep 'em coming.

[123Vette]

I WANT IT!!!!!!!!

wow very very nice and i really want it

i agree, next paintjob i think im going to put a white basecoat and shoot some pearl in the clear

[Donziikid]

Very nice, Xmodification. ;) Didn't see a build thread.. still that busy? :-?

[Sweed]

What is it, Krylon?

The Red-Blue is very pronounced. Just remember, the darker the base, the more pronounced the shift. But if you go with Red-Blue, it turns purple in the dark.

[Stampedekid]

i can defiatley see the purple and the gold

[noturday]

another clean job X, nice work, the decals really make it look nice

[Azngtboi88]

thats crazy man, great job!

[THE EDJ]

i swear you gotta quit making these little cars look so good because youre making (most) of the rest of us look like noobs. good work, i only wish i could do the same.

Thanks guys!
@ Vette - this one stays in my collection for now:bigwink:

Very nice, Xmodification. ;) Didn't see a build thread.. still that busy? :-?
Thanks Donzi - I just felt no build thread was required since it was just a simple paint job and with decals added - no need to waste time and bytes on it -lol:D

The Red-Blue is very pronounced. Just remember, the darker the base, the more pronounced the shift. But if you go with Red-Blue, it turns purple in the dark.

The paint I used was SPAZ Stix spray paint. I think I did see a red/blue flip paint at on the shelf so i think i'll get that one next time - it's rather expense - also $12 a can compared to $6 for Tamiya spray paint.

LOL - it's not my fault for that one - taking time with your projects only makes things better (that's why I don't rush anymore :bigwink: ).

where do you get that kind of paint?

Try HobbyPeople - that's where I got mines at.

[firebird999]

flip paint

flip flop paint



LOL!!! it's called color cycle/pearlecent/mystichrome(one of ford's somewhat old mustang paint options)

[live4luck14]

OMG! that paint is sickkkkkkk..... it must be the coolest paint jobi have ever seen.

[taiwanesekid05]

Thanks guys!

Do you think michaels (the craft store) will have this kind of paint (from testors or something)

[Donziikid]

Well, you know one forum needs some livening up. And you're still hiding stuff from us.. :evil: :lol:

Can't wait for the next project! :nod:

[Stampedekid]

hey X, you got any better pics? so we can see all of the colors?

[REDisFASTER]

Wow! As always, excellent work XMODification!

I like the use of the decals to simulate a track racer, while at the same time, using the stock body without any body kit add-ons!

I love the color too! 10/10!

LOL - I think i'll stiuck to "flip-paint" since that's too much to remember anyways.:bigwink:

Thanks guys! I don't think Michael's carry that kind of paint - maybe Walmart might have something similar though. The Spaz Stix would be found most likely at any HOBBY store that carries R/C's supplies.

Can't wait for the next project! :nod:

LOL - I'm not holding out - I do have alot of plans but I decided to take my time with them instead. I can tell you that My Supra and my NSX will has been repainted and will be intruduced soon. There's also another F-150 project and my Super Camaro will be getting a minor paint job.

hey X, you got any better pics? so we can see all of the colors?

I actually can get it right for some reason - I'll try to get a few more soon so that you can see all or most of the colors ( it's only soppuse to be 4 anyways -lol)

Thanks dude, I had to work with the stock BK since it's all I had but it was easy to paint being stock. The decals I had for along time so I just had to use them on something - they were from another Skyline model so it fitted nicely on this one.

[snowboi1289]

nice skyline,realy good detailing !!

[texan_idiot25]

Didnt BenC do one too? Or maybe it was shapecharge, jeez, its escaping me now.

Either way, came out great.

[adamcrawls]

dude were did you get those rims ??????? :nono:

[Donziikid]

It was Benc1, yes. ;)

[TheB1GDude]

WoW X as usual an amazing car!!

You got mad skills man!! Mad skills!!!

[tommygreen23]

Flip flippidy flip-floop flop!

lol, Your car looks really nice! The only thing I noticed is that you missed the trim around the windshield, It should be black like the other windows. Its not too noticeable though!

If your looking for the flippy (:p ) paint check out some auto parts stores. Duplicolor makes a kit thats around 12 bucks and every Advanced Discount Auto Parts store I've been to has at least 1 kit.

I need another body, I'm running out of ones to paint :lol:

[Scionbeave]

nice paint job i love it

[supraboi97]

That paint job is amazing probably best paint i've seen on a xmod i did a similar paint to a 1:18 04 cobra did a green/blue/purple flip to resemble the mystichrome but that is a lot better
excellent job
