Didn't someone else do a F-Bomb muscle car?
I think it was Naz_Com* that did it?

Looks good, but I paint all the time in Humid Weather (Florida Sucks). Go for really light coats, with a minute in between. Once the entire car is thinly covered, do a slightly heavier coat, but keep them light.

I did some trim in Flat Black. Came out great, no peel.

*We need to add him the the Legendary Modders list.

I do heavy-ish coats on flat colors. But I don't think Naz did a F-Bomb Camaro.

The coats aren't heavy at all. Just the poor body gaps on the xmods body.

2 coats of flat green, and then 1-2 for the tiny bits of flat black.

The paint on this car is light. In terms of weight and thickness.

Looks like the front wheels are Lancer wheels and the rear wheels are the stock Bumblebee wheels, painted (Sharpied?) black.

Looking amazing, Tex. Good paint so far, no peel or anything noticeable!

The fronts are NSX rims, the backs on one side is the 09 camaro, the otherside is the old muscle car 5-spokes from the gen1 set. Just a temporary set up.

Ah, I see. What are your plans for wheels?

You asked for what wheels, and I told you.

The rubber bits are called tires. I got them of Surgeon, you'll have to ask him.

In other words, won't be posting the latest pics of it here until it's finished. Which, maybe around next week, things are nuts at home right now.

But, for fun:
