martinfan5 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 With the paint I wanted for this now finally available for it( paint has been ordered) , it was time to get started on it. Engine mostly done, I need to touch up the black, but I doubt I am going to do a lot more since it will be hidden once finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinfan5 Posted December 5, 2016 Author Share Posted December 5, 2016 Thank you guys I think this should answer the question as to what color I am going to paint it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy D Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Hi Jonathan, The chassis, suspension and motor are looking great ! That color should be sweet Randy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennyg Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Very nice. I'm planning to do mine in pearl white or pure red. I'm leaning more towards pearl white as there are a few Ferrari's and they're red.Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinfan5 Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 Moving forward , started working on the interior , let's start with the dash, stripped the chrome on the middle section, top/bottom was painted in Tamiya Nato Black, steering wheel/column in semi gloss blackJumping forward, one completed interior , interior tub and seats painted in a flat black. Now, I am not going to lie, I am not 100% happy with the interior, I did attempt to do a black/white interior theme, but it did not turned out very well, so I just went to all black.And a more closer to finished chassis, all that is left at this point I believe is the two flat panels for the underside and the brake rotors, I have still yet to paint them, and I am trying to find a color, ( preferably in the Metalizer line) that is close to the Carbon Ceramic colorAnd how about this one( first coat,no pearl coat( mid coat) yet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelson Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Have you maybe considered mixing colors to create the carbon ceramic color on the brake rotors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
