if you want good paint, go to autobarn and get the PowerPlus Touch Up Paint, there is the Paint Primer and the colour is Cyan Metallica

Are you going to paint the heater controls or just leave them grey? Looks sweet though, might inspire me to finally do something.

I painted it all.. 4 coats of Rapid yellow and 2 of Devils Yellow and 4 of clear
Yes the shell was a taxi It had done 13,600km in the 10 mths it was made. It was smashed in the front and then all the parts was stolen of it . I bought the car for $100 and $73 for towing. The rest i built and got cheap from the wreckers . You put my car next to a Taxi and you would have to be stevie wonder to think they where the same. |
