I used a really light coat of pearl purple directly over the black.I sanded the gloss off. (i can still see the liscence plate and logos. The paint's really for lexan bodies. Then I went over it with clear gloss pearl. I was kinda iffy about the color at first but when I drove it and saw the colors changing from turn to turn I loved it after that. Hopefully i can do a direct fullfilment on a body kit sometime soon.
Thanc Angelo.

Great work man! I like the coat of paint on it. You did a good job of masking. I want to know why your civic is lop-sided to one side. What happened?

i lowered the front a little bit. In the pic i just had it slammed as far as it can go. I made a custom front mount to fit the supra and the civic b/c my other chassis broke. the chassis the civic is on is my old supra chassis. it's all stripped of parts and its basically wheels and thats about it. When i put the civic on the chassis that works its a little higher.

To be honest, I have never removed paint from one of my paint jobs. I have used that
If you Guys want a way to remove Paint from Plastic, use Oven cleaner (easy -off). It doesnt work on 100% of the paints out there but when it does work it works great. Only a little bit of scrubbing to get it all out of the crevaces. This works well and safely on Plastic model bodies and parts, The Xmod bodies seem to be made out of the same kind of plastic so..... But if you do use Oven Cleaner, wear Vynil gloves 'cause it will eat your skin.

My race Civic...
I didn't do much to this one, it is my next 6 cell car I will actually take outside and run around in. I used mostly the wild body kit, but I painted in some of the silver vents...had too much of a smiley face as someone else put it. Basically, it looks like it just has the intercooler in the front now. I also painted the wheels chrome.
