Real like the Blue and Silver better then the Silver and Pink, but both would look good in the own way. Hard to say. dunno
Bugger about the rims.

Another paint test. Much happier with the blue instead of light pearl red.



Try to do a thing with the wheel but I believe the chrome was too thin or I got too heavy with thinners. I ended up rubbing thru to the white plastic



Hard to see and get a close up but you can see where I was going with the detail. So I’ll strip these later. I have more sets of these wheels so I’ll just brush paint the centers next time

Pearl red is good for something different, but yeah I agree blue does look better.

Thinners ?? which one did you use mate acrylic or Lacquer ??

Il share my wheel mishap in the share/show thread.

The Tamiya Polly carb body cleaner. I do think the chrome was thin too which I should have realised earlier. I do have a plan to save these wheels too. Something a bit fresh and new school.

Final mock up before tape and second colour goes on.

Wow! mate that looks awesome, the red in the wheels sets it of too.

Atleast you wont have to wait long for the paint to dry between colours

Keep at it mate, going to be another super tidy looking build from you hi5

Yeah poly cleaner might have been a bit harsh for the chrome and like you said the chrome would have been super thin on the edge's.
Safest way to do that technique is use the acrylic's and the acrylic thinner

Just doing the top tested my patience so the 2 sides are going to be fun

[Luke]

ohno keep at it mate all the fiddling around with the tape will be worth the time and effort.

So hurry up and tape the sides and paint it as I want to see how awesome it will look stirrer
