Nissan Stagea

Body has been primed. Quite pleased with the results.

Overall shot

Rear and Side view. I tinted those windows. Seems to look better.

Recaro seats. Well, if you must know, when i was removing the masking tape for the

seats, it peeled the paint off in big big pieces. Decided to use my backup Recaros.

I would reuse the stock seats on other cars that deserves it.

Some feedback please. :feedback:

I'll be using my other set of rims from the Magnum.

Primer job looks good from where I sit!

What kind of masking tape did you use? I use Tamiya Tape exclusively for masking and have never had paint lift...............ever! The stuff is THAT good!

It would be worth seeking out in your area to pick up some.............if not, check online as it's available.

Keep us posted!

I was a little careless. I did not sand the seats before I sprayed them. Yes, Tamiya Masking Tape never peels paint off under normal situations. If it does come off, then it has something to do with my primer or my sanding.

I am using Tamiya Masking Tape, btw. Roughly US$ 3.50

Tamiya tape is amazing and I love these Stageas!

Wasn't there one with an R34 nose that you could win in Gran Tourismo 2?

Nice start. There was a real one that a Japanese compant built. Very cool car.

Be watching yours to see how it turns out

and pick up some pointers.
