Progress has finally resumed on the NSX. *yay!!*

First, let me acquaint any newcomers to the single most important tool in the hobby... The super-high-tech hanger thingy:


Absolutly essential!!! Send $5 to jay@af c/o AutomotiveForums.com today for your step-by-step instructions to build your own!

Well, here's a blurry NSX in its primer on the rig:


And, a few days later, the red NSX on the rig:


None of this would be possible without the rig!

Here's a mock up (no interior) in front of a familiar automotive peer:

Damn blurry camera!!!

There are absolutely no metal hangers in this house. It sucks. I'm using finished toilet paper rolls, they work quite well, actually.

I use a 4-pot flower holder, it works ok. I will use the hanger, though, so I can spray the botton of the car better

As I post, my NSX is all masked up, this time with Tamiya 18mm tape. I've already sprayed a light coat of clear over the top to seal the edges of the mask, so that no paint will sneak underneath... The black paint is already thinned out and waiting in the airbrush jar to go on next...

SUCCESS!!!!

The roof of my RED NSX is now BLACK. It' turned out so good!!!! Tamiya tape only for me now!!!

I'm waiting for it to cure, and later tonight I'll start the clear coats. I took some pics. It'll be a while before they're developed, though.

In the meantime, I cleaned up the tires and sprayed them and the wheels with clear coat. That'll help seal-on the "H" emblems and keep the chrome from rubbing off. I actually painted over the wheels with my gloss aluminum spray a while back to dull them a bit. At the same time today, I'm touching up the wheels from my MR2.

Actually, it was something that pkw1 suggested.

I was going to clear coat the wheels anyway, to knock down the shine of the chrome a bit, and to seal the logo decals to the center caps.

It actually turned out really good. Nice and shiney. I only did the outer sidewalls, though.
