Yellow R33-GTR progress thread

The body has been sprayed for weeks now, I've just been lazy

Not sure what to do with the Nismo rims, whether to tone them down a bit by repainting them gunmetal, or leave them relatively shiny. The wheelnut will be painted a dark gold/brass mix.

That looks awesome so far. I'd keep the wheels as they are, they look good.

Noticed a couple of mold lines I'd missed before, so they had to be sanded down and obviously I've just given the car another few coats, so another week wait until it gets a polish

Give me time to do the chassis and interior anyway. Thanks for the advice on the rims, looks like they're staying as they are Reckon the gold wheelnut should be done, or just leave it silver?
