That is correct, I used rattle can. I would get an airbrush, but I get excellent results using rattle cans without the headache of setting up the mixture, cleaning up, etc.

After doing a couple Corvette bodies with Tamiya paint, I can say that I like it a whole lot better than the Testors. It goes on so nice, and dries quickly. It's probably because it is an acrylic lacquer instead of an enamel...

I use Easy-Off oven cleaner (really!) to strip the chrome finish off of stock Microsizer wheels. Works great, doesn't touch the plastic.

To take paint off I use some goo-gone or nail polish remover and dab it on a paper towel. Then I just start scrubbing away.

That is the same color I'm might use on my RSX project. I knew a lot of people were going to use blue, and I was going to paint it different, but the more I think about it, I love the color and that's what I'm going to go with.
Believe me, it looks good too. Here is a Zip SE I did with the Tamiya Mica Blue...
