Default CJ's project RSX (not 56k friendly)

Okay, seeing as the Scooby is out of action (again), I've decided to get myself something to work on. That something is my brother's old RSX. The first thing on the cards is getting the body sorted.

So, I've got a couple of ideas, the first thing being a respray.
Here's the body stripped of all parts.





Picked up some goodies from the model shop a couple of weeks ago.



Surface primer and masking tape. Should come in handy.
I wasted no time in getting the body masked up.





Any suggestions on the colour? I'm thinking Ferrari Tur De France blue.

the blue is nice, RSX's are also nice in the right orange or white. BTW good to see you around again.

That blue looks great on an RSX. Aznballa painted an RSX like that, looks great.

You might want to redo the masking on the windsheild. I see some window showing, unless that's just the picture.

Thanks Kaze, it's good to be back.

And Lancer_Man, it is in fact a bit of window there showing, I'll make sure to retouch that before I spray.

Definitely go over the windows again, with some of the thicker blue masking tape.

Blue/silver two tone!

Edit: 1,000th post!

Those are all great ideas, however I'm going for a clean JDM style on this project, so I don't think they'll be on the actual car. I may use them for something else though, so thanks for that guys!

Fear not, my next project may be something very British!

The blue is a great color for that car. Just make sure you have another color to contrast it, seeing it is kinda dark.
