current project... 08 drift nutz mustang.

still to be done:
lights and light buckets
some grille work (can't give that away)
probably some swp wheels
drift nutz decals
rcdriftclub decals
maybe a wing
hood scoop work

let me know what u guys think
the colors are black and flat gold, the paint scheme is loosely based on the boss mustangs

Thats an awsome car Peetie!

Looking good so far but do all that stuff you listed there and it will really make me drool. I would avoid any kind of wing and go easy on the decals. A wheel swap is definatly needed as well. I mean who doesn’t have a set of TE37's Lol.

really nice car!!!

thanks guys, if i have time today im gonna begin working on the light buckets. and maybe that mysterious grillework.

cool!
post some pics!

Here is my WIP, obviously a Z-tune R34. The masking is far from completed and still needs more sanding on the wheel arches but you get the idea. Most everything that is masked in blue will be black and I want the main color to be gunmetal grey. I have some tint that I will use to do the windows and smoke the light buckets. Also have to mask the front splitter. One thing is for sure this thing will be going wingless [sm=thumbup.gif]





And ya I like to cut then paint. [sm=stupid.gif]

dude blue tape will give u bleeds, unless that is tamiya tape.

This same stuff has worked fine for me before. I just spray it on real thin and give each coat a day or so to dry. You also have to be careful of where the tape overlaps. What do you usually use?

i use fastkolor sp? 6mm tape for my lines and then cover the rest with the brown ish masking tape.

duck tail spoiler added. had this idea so thought i would try it out.

here's my 3 drifters. left to right: Yokomo mr4tc special, yokomo ssg sd, losi xxx-s. The ssg is my newest with a hotworks racing fairlady Z

Peetie, stop posting. YOu're making me jealous.

I've been using blue tape for years now. And never had a problem. I've had more problems with the Tamiya window masks then the ones I make my self.

i guess to each their own then, if it works for you great use it. just as long as we all keep turnin out nice shells its all good.

i tried using both type of tape. i think the tamiya ones works better, but the blue painters tape works well 2 if you use a blow dryer and blow the painters tape after applying.

WORKS GREAT!
