Progress: Graphite Metallic Integra Type R

Here's my new project, Since the Civic got melted.. Yeah don't ask. Anyway's heres the body, Duplicolor red primer, Duplicolor Graphite color, and Duplicolor clear, NO sanding anycoats, or clear coat, Then some 3M polish and i got this shine, :naughty: Heres some pic of the shine and some pics of the rubbers i painted, which need a little touch up..I plan on adding a rollcage, Polished to a chrome shine, Like I did in the civic. Also a polished muffler. And a CAI. Thanks for looking... :sunglasse

they are model paint and plastic friendly right?

they are model paint and plastic friendly right? Duplicolor is Auto paint and the right preparation methods must be used! Josh, that's a sweet shine!!:sunglasse:sunglasse

/\ /\ I agree

Nice paint job. Wheres the widebody teg? :biggrin:

Duplicolor is Auto paint and the right preparation methods must be used! Josh, that's a sweet shine!!:sunglasse:sunglasseThank's man.. I was surprised that it came out so shiny!. BTW, Here's a teaser pic of my next teg... Royal blue.. It has a little orange peel on the side, I'll have to sand that out.. No progress on the graphite one but.I almost screwed the engine block up today, My superglue had a hole in the tube so when I went to glue on the header, well test fit for the turbo header,which I will prolly be adding, I got glue all over the one side of the block, I threw it in water, doubt that helps, but I hope it didnt ruin it. I did decide on rims, Stock skyline rims, cut down on ITR tires. And I decided on NO rollcage as to the blue one will be a road racer, Striped interior, mostly everything..
Anyway's here's the blue one! BTW theres still polish in the panel lines. even on the graphite one..P.S i know my hands dirty, damn airbrush..

Josh

you're getting a good shine on these! as for the engine block, you probably could of thrown some super hot water over it to wash it away, im assuming the hot water would make the hot glue runnier and wash off easier. anyway keep up the good work.

i like your paint

looks good!

Here's some ride height pic's, Badass IMO..As you can see I swaped the Type R decals for the dohc VTEC ones in the civic, It's more subtle IMO. You can see the clear corners to , I just put BMF behind the light.....

Looks good. Keep us posted.

Here's the valve cover so far, I got the Vtec decal from the civic, along with the honda H. I also got the block painted and detailed, I won't be doing the turbo.. The road racer will have a turbo..

Sweet!!!

very sick man
wants me to make an integra pearl white type-r

why do you paint the stuff while its still on the tree? ive seen it done but nvr do it

easier to handle... so you can paint the entire model without having to touch the paint etc... I only do this for smaller parts though such as suspension, and not the engine. i usually just glue the engine blocks and stuff together first and then paint... easy :P
cuz i hate touching up the areas where the tree is :(

its so they have something to hold on too

why do you paint the stuff while its still on the tree? ive seen it done but nvr do itI only do it for certain parts, That part, you can paint on the tree without touch up after. That's why I did it. Here's a pic of the engine wired.... Sorry for the bad pic.

Looks sweet with the R34 rims.. Clean engine bay too

OK, I cracked, Walked into the Hobby Shop and saw they got a new shipment of 1/16 tubing, I bought 5 things of it, Came home. I orginally planned NOT to make one for this, But, Well I did. Its just gonna be a rollbar, Not a fullcage, The civic and the Blue ITR will have the full cages, After I get a replacement body from revell for the civic.

Here's the pics.
