Status: offline 		Do you have need for speed underground 2? They have a mustang in the game you can customize the hell out of regarding colors and graphics. I am going to be doing a skyline r34 gtr drift body soon and I think I'm going to use this game to come up with some ideas.

Status: offline 		If you want to go with a single color the true blue pearl from pactra I think would be nice. The mustangs I don't think look great when the color is too dark like near black or black. The true blue pearl is dark enough to not be in your face but will also bring out the features of the body.

here's an example of one I've done.

This one used pactra true blue pearl and pactra metallic blue for the flames with the parma aggrivation mask



if you want to go bright I think this.. realy any variation of a bright color would look interesting, then use mask for the hood and the top of the wing with dark gray?

Status: offline 		masking is when you apply a tape , material, perhaps liquid mask to the inside of the body that keeps the paint from being sprayed and sticking to the polycarbonate in a certain area so that after the area you just painted is dry you can peel the mask off and then paint the other area a different color. It just allows you to paint multiple colors onto a body. Yanno like the stickers you get to put inside the body to make sure you don't paint the windows?

Status: offline 		You mean like strip the paint out of it and repaint it? That I don't know.


Repainting an entire body – Do you really want to tackle this? First off, I’ve never found a way to remove paint from a lexan body once its been applied. Thinners tend to attack the plastic itself and any other paint remover I’ve tested with damages the lexan. Some people have suggested using automotive brake fluid, I haven't tried this yet. I’m open to ideas because the only method that has worked for me has been to use steel wool to sand the paint off… slowly… very slowly.

Status: offline 		I suppose you could try, but my guess is that it wont come out that great. will probably scrape off pretty easily too.
