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

Nice paint! What did you use?
How did yo lower the front end? Gives it killer looks! 
Can it still steer properly?
Keep up the excellent work!

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

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.
