2016 IMSA GT350R-C #15

Not really a WIP anymore as it's finished, but thought I'd post a few pics of my GT350R-C diecast transformation. Started out as a Newray GT350R diecast. Disassembled, sanded, primed, and painted the body, then masked the stripes. Used Gravity Colors USA for all paint and clear. Really happy with how their paint lays down. Decals, I custom made most of them. A few Indycals from the 2018 #15 GT4 car. 

New diecast:

 

Disassembled, stripped and sanded:

Primed and white paint applied, masked for stripes. Ended up doing the stripes twice as the center width was too wide and the original green was far too dark.

Green stripes applied:

Black accents added along with the doors and mirror paint, prior to clear:

Decals applied and mock up with the stock wheels and undercarriage:

Tires & Wheels. Really struggled trying to find the perfect BBS wheels to match the ones used by Multimatic Motorsports. Used these BBS wheels from the Revell C7R kit.

 

Assembled everything, added antennas, the quick air jack, front/rear tow hooks, brakes, and final touches!

Thanks for checking it out!
