RodneyBad Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 Had some Tamiya Mica Blue and was having a good day of body painting.. Gotta Love Tamiya Paint. Tamiya White Primer, 3 coats of Tamiya Mica Blue followed by 3 coats of Tamiya Gloss Clear.
RodneyBad Posted May 3, 2011 Author Posted May 3, 2011 (edited) Thanks, I've have a few cans of that Tamiya Mica Blue so I could build a Nissan Skyline in Blue. But it sure looks nice on a Sidekick. I have 3 chassis at home for the sidekick done up in a couple of ways. Stock, lifted and Low low. Now to what a few days and mask it off to to the black trim.. Edited May 3, 2011 by Zukiholic
Modlbldr Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 Rodney- Beautifully smooth paint. I'm with you. I like the Tamiya quality, but not the price. I painted a 2006 Mustang that Mica Blue. It was fantastic. Went on smooth and shiny. Unfortunately, sometime after my move down to WA from Alaska, while the body was sitting in my new unventilated model area, the body warped like nothing I've ever seen before. My wife said that it looked like a teenager had stole his parents car and hit a telephone pole. I still cry a bit when I think about it.--excuse me The Samurai looks good. Later-
jedimastergary Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Nice color looks like it will be another great build cannot wait to see it done
RodneyBad Posted May 5, 2011 Author Posted May 5, 2011 The low one could be lower! The left one is lifted 6"+inches, middle one is stock and the right one, well, lowered. I had to channel the frame into the interior to get it that low. Plan is to use stock wheels on all of them with different off sets and tires. Guess I could go lower by using the good ole Pegasus 1109 wheel & tire set and Notch the rear frame a bit more. I'll have to look into it when I get back home Friday.
crazyjim Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Love that shiny blue. Where do you get all those Samuri's?
RodneyBad Posted May 6, 2011 Author Posted May 6, 2011 Love that shiny blue. Where do you get all those Samuri's? They are SideKicks and I got them from HLJ.com yrs ago and they are still available now and then. http://www.hlj.com/product/FUJ03819 I'm running a little short on them too, Think I only have 3 left
