Hey Tiny, where's that album? :D

killboy 10-15-2002 02:34 PM

Thnx. Airbrushed the main color and the clear coat. Brushed on the windows and other small details.

Its probably one of the best paint jobs out there for a Bit :D.

Man, the color just looks ultimately unique, maybe you should do that to the spoiler too.

I believe that what I'm seeing is a clear RX-7 body with a clear coat of blue. Interesting, I might try using clear paints on my skyline when it gets here. Only problem is, getting the clear paint (hav to order em' online :(; shipping + wait ).

I think he was referring to the blue Rx-7 in my Photo Album link from the first message. ;)

To lower the body, I lowered the front tab on the chassis using someone else's method, sorry I forgot who. :confused: Basically you sand off the "stepped down" edge of the tab that holds the front of the body on, then you glue a piece of plastic up under that and let it stick out and grab the body. It'll be at a lower spot since it's up under where the normal tab was. One layer wasn't low enough for me, so I sanded off that and went down one more tab.

It drives ok on some bodies, but on others, like the Rx-7, I had to sand down the inner wheel wells to let it steer properly.

I used Testers enamel paints and clear coat.

Ok killboy I emailed ya.

MTL, I guess I should have stated that I viewed his picture gallery and saw that unbelievable RX-7. I'm asian, we're supposed to know our imports hehe :D.

That looks awsome!!!!! How did you do the rims like that???

killboy 10-16-2002 07:23 PM

Thnx. The rims are kinda beat up, I need to repaint them. I just used a really small brush and painted the spokes and center with flat black enamel Testers paint.

MTL 10-17-2002 03:01 AM

useing a clear cloat on the factory paint is ok...it wont mess it up..
i suggest using a spray can of clear coat, instead of brushing it on
