Well, red seems to be the most popular color, but I don't care for it so much. For me personally, I would think silver or black would look good - or some combo design with both..

Point is though, just picture what YOU would like and make it happen..

Wisconsin Nitro

ok well i just got it in the mail and i like the one that is on the HPI.com website that im gona try to get as close to that as i possibly can

HerrSavage

OK maybe red's not so bad - that looks good..

Wisconsin Nitro

and then heres an orange and black one w/ the optional fake blower housing

just paint it silver and put on the stickers and its done

HerrSavage

That looks good too. Would look cool if the top of the blower were also orange - or black.. The blowers supposedly don't last very long, but I reckon why not paint 'em? When they're toast just cut it out and then insert the plastic piece in its place..

Wisconsin Nitro

i wouldent even bother with the blower cause i know it would probably be just like all of the wings i have attached to my st's

do a few jumps and eventualy it will come off and be ruined

but im still gona paint it and see if i realy want to put it on

HerrSavage

If it's like my Chevelle though, it comes molded on. That's what I was trying to say: if you don't want it, you have to cut it out right away, and insert a flat piece of plastic. That's why you might as well paint it to start, let it get shredded, cut it out, and THEN put in the flat piece...

Wisconsin Nitro

the thing isint attached it comes as a seperate mold and is attached by 2 provided srewes and bolts

but then i got a new question...


how am i suppose to mask off the hood and the roof to paint it black?

i cant just use a bunch of strips of tape because then when i put it on it can never be evenly masked off

i know theres like a paper or something i can use maybe but were can i get it?

Wisconsin Nitro

ok well never mind

i got it done and i should be able to have some pics of it by tomorow

leting the paint dry over night then tomorow i'm gona cut it out and put the decals on

it looks allmost identicle except i couldent get the fenders masked off so there red as well and the roof and hood is black and the main is red i like it so far

Wisconsin Nitro

k here it is







the pics are bad but when i have it outside on the truck it should look allot better[8D]

but yeah got the rood and hood all painted, didint bother with the blower, the fenders and the role bars in black are red cause i couldent mask them with just reguler tape amd everything is all painted as it should be

HerrSavage

Well done.. Looks good..
