Cesar Bossolani Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 This is my fast job in a S2000. Except the rims is OOB. I did a little modification in front and rear arms to lowered the car. The color is Evolution Orange, coated with Uretane High Solid clear. Tamiya Z-tune wheels and tires. Turned shifter, acetate in dashboard, seatbelt hardware from Mr. Model, House of Kolor Kosmic Krome in rear end, Shocks, exaust system, brakes, etc...

Cesar Bossolani Posted August 7, 2010 Author Share Posted August 7, 2010 I had an accident with body on polishing job and retouched paint job yesterday. And that is all process to fix. I hope you like it, all feedback are welcome!!! What do you think about "matte orange"? Cesar Bossolani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoom Zoom Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Great model, great photo tutorial on fixing a common paint problem without the usual "I messed up and have to strip the paint" emotion that plagues 99% of car modelers. As I mentioned elsewhere, I think you should restore the finish to full gloss. The whole "matte finish" thing is just a passing fad...works for a few show cars, is terrible for 1:1 cars (common scuffs that can easily be buffed away? Forget it...car must be repainted). When the fad is over you'll be left with a model car that is very dated. I have a few custom/street rods built in the early '90's, and finished them using early '90's paint schemes...and they look kind of silly now. Go for "timeless".

Foxer Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Interesting paint scheme .. exterior/interior color contrasts. That paint repair was awesome! I'm glad to see someone DO this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm following your job a few years ago in the others boards and SAM. I'm really love your work and your kind of words to me, its a best award to won for any modeler! I agree with you in whole "matte finish" thing is just a passing fad, but I'm build cars since 1998 I think, and all my models are polished and shined. So, I'm looking for something different to my glass display. I really hope don't disapoint you, but I'm building 2 import cars and they both will be matte. The orange S2K and a Nismo GT-R 34 will be black with Nismo graphs. I hope to finish the couple in this week to compete on IPMS Campinas on next sunday. I'll post tomorow GT-R w.i.p. pics. I'm planning to build a '33 ford roadster in matte gray also. Thanks guys to very cool posts... I have a little update. In the first mock-up, I was used Nismo Rays wheels. But today, in final mock-up I was decided to change rims to Rays Volk Racing CE-28 19" from Aoshima. Chassi was done a few months ago, all Tamiya... so, the following pics are from wheels modifications in my lathe to fit in Tamiya disc brakes. I hope you like it, all feedback are welcome!!!
