Default My GT-R

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.

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

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.
