JDMallday Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 (edited) My Next Build: 1/24 Aoshima C-West RX7 Left Hand DriveWill be using Plasti Dip White to give it a Matte Look, Will be using Aoshima Volk TE37's In Dark Bronze. Will try to lower it a little bit more than pictured in mock up and slight camber in front and a little more in back.I made a Mock Design of what I want it to look like for the most part on Forza Horizon 3-Will try to make it as close as possible.Thanks And I'll keep everyone Updated!

JDMallday Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 First step will be done tonight, I want to put the body kit pieces on and then fill in some small gaps with tamiya putty on the front bumper (Mocked up the Body Kit pieces and the front bumper will have 2 small gaps) and then will sand the areas down. Stay Tuned! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o-man Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 May be a dumb question, but wont the Dip cover over small details of the body? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMallday Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 o-man It may but Plasti Dip is peelable and removeable so it would be easy to cut out the areas/fix the areas if they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMallday Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 Update: Got all of the body kit pieces on, touching up front bumper/head lights with putty as we speak.Last pic is mock up with Aoshima Volk TE37's in bronze.

martinfan5 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Just a silly suggestion, but why not use oh I dont know, a matte white paint, Tamiya has Matte White in the can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMallday Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 (edited) I agree martinfan5 but I'm going for the plasti dip so if I ever want to repaint it in the future I can peel off the coat without possible damage Edited December 13, 2016 by JDMallday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMallday Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 Got the putty filled in on the front bumber areas and will start sanding tomorrow morning. (First Photo is Before and Last Photo is After) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Very nice! I do have a question on the plastidip - isn't there a chance that removing it in the future might damage your body work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMallday Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 Jonathan It shouldn't damage it, Like I said plasti dip is made to be removable and peeled off. When you say body work I assume you mean the putty and sanded areas? I'm 90% positive that It won't but of course there's a very slight chance for it to mess up if I don't apply right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I think it'll be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMallday Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 (edited) Thanks Jonathan I'm a little skeptical about painting right now since it's now winter time but will paint soon enough! Trying to think of what I could do till the time is right to paint. Will keep everyone updated! P.S. Will post pictures of the finished putty/sanding in a day or 2 so stay tuned Edited December 15, 2016 by JDMallday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o-man Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 It can't be much colder there than here. I go outside, paint one coat, and then come back in. Wash, rinse, repeat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
