LDO Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 (edited) Here's mine. All Tamiya spray paints decanted to a jar and airbrushed. Gold basecoat. Color is custom-mix candy burgundy. Clear red with a few drops of Racing Blue. The blue is a metallic, but the effect should be very subtle due to the tiny amount of flake. It will get pearl on top of the burgundy. The paint looks orange in the flash. I'll try to get an outdoor photo tomorrow. It needs more burgundy. It's not dark enough yet. Man I really wish I could have gotten an outdoor photo today. I'm VERY happy with how it's looking. If anyone else wants to photos WIP photos of their Tamiya DBS and make this an unofficial Community Build Project, please feel free. Edited June 20, 2010 by LDO
RodneyBad Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 That is a great looking color and a super paint job. Side Profile kind've looks GT-R ish to me tho
LDO Posted June 18, 2010 Author Posted June 18, 2010 Nice paint i like that color. That's not really the color. It's really a candy burgundy. Today's outdoor pics also look orange. Maybe it's time for a new camera.
vizio93 Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 This looks like its gonna be fun! I was thinkin' the same exact thing !!!
Eric Stone Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Side Profile kind've looks GT-R ish to me tho The GT-R wishes it was that attractive. Looking good so far. I like it in orange, even if it's not.
LDO Posted June 20, 2010 Author Posted June 20, 2010 (edited) I finally got the chance to shoot a photo in good light. I hope this one gives a better idea of the color. Again, I'm really happy with how it's looking. Decanting spray paint and airbrushing it is turning out great. Not only is it great paint that polishes well, but the custom mix possibilities are endless. I'm already thinking of a project using custom mixed candy purple. Edited June 20, 2010 by LDO
geckoman1220 Posted June 20, 2010 Posted June 20, 2010 very nice color!!!! i want this kit so bad, but the price has stopped me from getting one right when they came out. maybe ill just spend the money and get on anyway.
LVZ2881 Posted June 20, 2010 Posted June 20, 2010 very nice color!!!! i want this kit so bad, but the price has stopped me from getting one right when they came out. maybe ill just spend the money and get on anyway. Jordan, I'm thinking the same thing myself!!
Romell R Posted June 20, 2010 Posted June 20, 2010 (edited) Jordan, I'm thinking the same thing myself!! Your best bet is to grab it now while its available , It could go out of production and then you'll find yourself saying "I should have" or you'll be buying one on Ebay and paying out of the wazoo for one. I always get it when I want it for just those two reasons, excellent color choice by the way LDO! Edited June 20, 2010 by Aftashox
Agent G Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 Beautiful color, I'm looking forward to this. I'm with Aftashox, buy it now, you'll be kickin' yer own keister if ya don't G
