my celica project!

[spitfire]

i see what you mean but whats the fusion brand?

Its a brand of paint that bonds with plastic. If you let it sit for awhile it becomes highly scratch resistant. I use it on my projects that will be well driven.

The only downfall is that it is tempormental to humidity and you get better results without sanding/priming.

sounds cool. where do you get that at? right now i use dupont automotive paint. it works well but scratches real esay so switching to fusion would probably be good. so, thanks!

Wal-mart, home depot, lowes. Wal-Mart has the best prices, but the smallest selection. They don't have a baby-blue in the fusion brand tho, so you might just wait for another project, or change the color you want it.

when i get a truck chassis ill try it on that and see how it works

i was thinking about making it a rally car by putting on rally car decals. but im not sure. im afriad ill have to change the color of it to make it look right, mabye silver or gray. i dont know, just a thought!

lol i just bought that model kit 2 days ago, red and white with flares right

[spitfire]

the one i bought wasnt actual a 1975 i was just gessing. the model i bought is a aoshima (i know ive never heard of it too!lol) it has a picture of the car and its like a bluegreen color and the height looks realy stupid on it. but the car is called the CELICA 1600GT. let me know what kind your model kit is?

[stangdude94]

dude thats most unique project i have seen in a long time

[stang_racer]

mines a higarama or something like that, some japanese model really high quality no exes platic on the molds or any seams either but one down side was i didnt get to build a motor so ya it was still great though and expensive too, 34 bucks canadian most ive ever spent on a model lol usualy its the 18 dollar deal at wal mart hahaha but now my walmart doesnt even carry plastic models anymore, so i had to go to the lhs and ended up walking out 58 bucks lighter after model, 2 cans of paint and a small testors bottle of flat black

[spitfire]

ya mines japanese too.

you can only read like... 5 words on the box. lol.

[stang_racer]

yea yea lol i know eh ill try to find a pic of mine, **** no luck on google

[spitfire]

all right cool! ya ive all ways loved celicas. my brother has a 2000 celica GT-S

he has:
K&N intake
short shifter
performance pulleys
sway bars and tower bars

ive desided to retire the celica body and put it on the shelf of good makings (lol!) its going to be replaced with a Honda S2000.
ill be making a new thread for it so keep a look out for it. it will be called "stole a chassis for an S2000".
