Lownslow Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) ive had this nissan president vip kit a few years now the first one i ever build its gone through a few phases this current one being the third and final phase. the original paintjob was black, second paintjob was that duplicolor flip flop stuff, third and hopefully final paintjob is nailpolish red metallic with testors candy red over it. the pictures dont really show how deep the color is but at only 2 coats its DEEEP Edited January 29, 2012 by Lownslow
hotrod59f100 Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 Wow I love it . You have to tell me where I can find those wheels. I have a ongoing project on a lexus ls400 . I made a custom set of ground effects for it. I'm going for the VIP look.

Lownslow Posted January 29, 2012 Author Posted January 29, 2012 Do you ever sell or trade any? im on the hunt for gasser parts if you have any specifically front wheels and tires
hotrod59f100 Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 I may have what you need. Ill check when I get back home. I think I have a set off the willys drag car or the studebaker gasser kit. I'll pm you later.
hotrod59f100 Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 Btw do you have any tips on spraying nail polish? I have a kit I wanna try it on but never used it.
Lownslow Posted January 30, 2012 Author Posted January 30, 2012 Btw do you have any tips on spraying nail polish? I have a kit I wanna try it on but never used it. use acrylic enamel reducer as opposed to laquer or acetone
Modellpularn Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Ohh, I love the new paint job! Then by now, you know I'm a sucker for candy red.... But please, ditch that silly looking Continental wannabee grille?

Lownslow Posted February 7, 2012 Author Posted February 7, 2012 these were bare resin a few weeks ago can you tell if the tires are resin or not? finally,
hotrod59f100 Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Absolutely stunning Frank . I think I'm going to have to get me one of those.
hotrod59f100 Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 Wow looks killer ? What gloss did you use.
Lownslow Posted February 11, 2012 Author Posted February 11, 2012 you wouldnt believe me if i told you lol, its plain ol testors from the bottle.
hotrod59f100 Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 Wow never thought that would look that good. That color you used it looks like it has a fiery orange hue from the pic wich looks great.Btw I tried the nail polish the other day and it looks good thanks for the tip.
Lownslow Posted February 11, 2012 Author Posted February 11, 2012 off to the dunk tank with this one the clear started flaking off in some spots during polishing
Romell R Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 off to the dunk tank with this one the clear started flaking off in some spots during polishing Dont ya just hate it when that happens!
hotrod59f100 Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 That sucks . I had to dunk my ls400 to my primer not doing its job.
Lownslow Posted March 17, 2012 Author Posted March 17, 2012 bump. its close to paint, again after the last snafu i changed the tires to the new resin low profile tires also finished the interior too boring giving it life looks 100x better
Assa9 Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 Looks real nice especially like the wheel and tire combo
