If she posted up the reference pictures (I deleted them already. ), you guys would get a better understanding of the car she is aiming for.
EDIT: Found a picture: I'm pretty sure this is what she's aiming for.

M0DEL, are you going all out (Chassis paint, every little detail taken care of.) on this, or are you just doing the body and wheels?

Cool, I always wondered if there were any girls that were into xmods, I think we even had a thread about it. Once we thought there was one, but it turned out to be someone pretending to be a girl by putting up pic of his girlfriend for his avatar. But now we know, there's at least one.
Your nail polish might be a good color for your wheels, I don't know how durable it would be though, might chip off. I can't believe someone quoted me in their sig, that's definitely a first. Ha!

The headlight lenses should be able to come off, if you look at the backside there are melted tabs. Pry them apart with an extacto and the lenses will pop right off. After you paint, push them back through and glue them from the backside using elmers glue.

Anyways, it looks like it's going pretty well so far - you'll definately get all the help on here - there's a few guys on here that know there stuff pretty well so don't be afraid to ask question. Good luck on it btw!

taking the lenses out also prevents from any over spray getting on the inside and messing up the lenses that way. i've done quite a few paint jobs, and i always make sure that all lenses and extra parts that can come off, do come off. i also take the whole body apart and spray each piece individually rather than as one large piece so that i can remove parts later if i want to change them out or something, and it makes it easier to tape off parts you dont want painted

So far your projects looks like it's coming along great. As for the pink, the shade on your nail looks good. Scrape off the plastic/glue all the way untill they come out. Be paitent with them. Good luck with the painting! |

same here
i make sure that everything that'll come off is off, (including bumpers, wings, mufflers, hoods, etc.) yeh texan knows what he's talkin' about. i'll be a much better paintjob that way. and crazy glue is the worst type of glu for things like this. elmers glue is the way. light coats of paint! mist the paint. try to resist tempation to do full coverage of paint.(whe i first started, i couldn't resist...now i have a wrecked Evolution 8 bodyshell) that pink looks good. looks like the subbie is on the right track patience...may the xmodsforce be with you.
