Well, since the focus is no longer, I decided to turn my attention back to the origional shell that came with the car.
I'm waiting for my lithium-ion kit , carbon fiber chassis, and other parts to come in, so I thought I'd add some lights, alloy wheel locks, and clean her up a bit.

that is one bad *** car you did a hell of a job on the paint kinda makes mine look like **** did you spray or hand paint that bad boy and a word from the wise loose the little guy or run him over with that car either way ditch the figure ok or go :uzi: him burn it is my choice but after all it is your thing do with it what you wish 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) LATER

The paint is actually Testors spray. After sanding and priming the parts, I laid down 2 coats of gold metallic, and topped it off with the 4 coats of the Candy.
I paint all the parts seperately. It comes out better and you don't have to worry about the paint chipping.

Not sure how 6 cells would fit, I'm going with the li-ion kit instead of adding cells.

I actually have another body that I run with. I can't justify messing this one up since the paint alone took almost a week to do.

I don't let the first coat sit for more than 15 to 20 min. I always recoat within that time period. Whether you are using acrylic or lacquer/clearcoat, you always want to recoat within that time frame

That car is very nice...VERY nice paint...How 6Cells fit in the skies?

When my sky was on 6 cells, I dremelled the center bumper post off and shave the 2 side ones a bit. It's a tight squeeze, but it works.

Believe it or not, Testors spray...... Take your time, and it comes out pretty good. My airbrush crapped out, so it was a desperation move. I'd use it again in a heartbeat. :D

Hey, I sent you a couple PM's asking what you wanted. I didn't get an answer, so I thought you went elsewhere. I have the orange that would match perfectly, as far as the graphics, I would look for a F&F model with the decals already in it. Kinda sucks to buy a model for just the decals, but they'd work really well.

No, that was intended for SkylineRocks. He wants a F&F Supra, so I think I'm painting it and looking for decals for the sides.
