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.

RE: POST A PIC OF YOUR DRIFTER THREAD!!!!!!!!!

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]

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

RE: POST A PIC OF YOUR DRIFTER THREAD!!!!!!!!!
 

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?

RE: POST A PIC OF YOUR DRIFTER THREAD!!!!!!!!!
 

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

RE: POST A PIC OF YOUR DRIFTER THREAD!!!!!!!!!

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

RE: POST A PIC OF YOUR DRIFTER THREAD!!!!!!!!!
 

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.

RE: POST A PIC OF YOUR DRIFTER THREAD!!!!!!!!!
 

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. :D

RE: POST A PIC OF YOUR DRIFTER THREAD!!!!!!!!!
 

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! :D
