1hobby1 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Hey All, Here is my finished Subaru WRX STI. It's painted in Testors Stop Light Red Metallic Enamel. It is pretty much box stock other than modified suspension, interior flocking, scratch built blast pipe style exhaust, and the wheels are from the Aoshima Vertex RX-7. It may not be everyone's style but it's is exactly how I intended for it to look! Hope you all enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDMallday Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 A little too much camber and too long of an exhaust for my taste but still looks sweet man! Also like the color and wheel choice. Nice Build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Eh? Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) Fantastic model. The Stop Light Red Metallic really sets it off. If you don't mind me asking, did you use primer underneath? If so what colour? Also, aluminum tube exhaust pipe? Edited June 8, 2017 by Bill Eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modlbldr Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 You did a fantastic job on it!I have two of these that I was building at the same time. One stock and the other custom. Both are on hold. I am having paint issues with the stock one and can't find the custom wing that I want for the other. I'll get back to them soon.Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so what colour? Also, aluminum tube exhaust pipe?Thank you. I did not primer underneath on this one. The body was in great shape. Lightly sanded a few spots and I started spraying. I do a 50/50 enamel/lacquer thinner mix and start spraying until it looks fully covered. Saw this method on YouTube and have had pretty good results with it. The exhaust pipe is aluminum.

Thanks for your reply. Sounds like Donn Yost's painting method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
