Chrome is a problem though, no airbrush so no alclad for me. Using the kits wheels, might try blue rim with smoke spokes??

You could try the BMF for the rims, it works well if you are careful.

Lol, unbelievable..... i take a year off to come back to find you doin tuners!!!! LOl, awesome paint job as usual joe!!

Nice work on the paint mate!

Thanks for the tip Tom, I never thought of using bmf on the wheels. I tired two ways, bmf spokes with a smoke rim(rear) and smoke spokes with a bmf rim(front). I went with the bmf spokes.


I did the wheels awhile ago but in the last few days I managed to, clear, sand and polish the body (the bonnet still needs to be cleared) then I'll wax the lot. The front mesh grille is also in so is the head and tailights and I painted all the window frames black.

FWIW I liked the BMF rims with the black spokes better.

I think you nailed it, that style of wheel is all the rage at the moment with the tuner scene so it suits it well.

i agree all of the above......

Love the whole concept - fantastic decoration and finish with perfect wheels to match.

Thanks guys!

They were my first choice but then I felt that the wheels kind of get lost in the paint job being black. IMO the chrome spokes continue with the silver fade plus as Kane said, it's all the rage at the moment.

So you repaint the whole car to suit the wheels.

Come on Clutch, where's your sense of adventure.

I could....but I'm not that adventurous.

Last one for the day,
Interior finished.

that interior looks great Joe

awsome love the wheels as they blend with the silver flick in paint job and the intirior look good too well done

Now finish 'er off!

Nice work, very tidy build. No window tint, you'll want to show off that interior!

Nice work Joe!

Oooh, that interior is very clean. Good job.

Thanks guys!

Finally finished this one, pics are over in the Showroom.
I didn't like both side windows being up so I cut out the drivers side.



Thanks!
