Thanks so much to CADguy for patiently helping me get my polishing drama under control. Mad props to him for being so helpful to the entire AF community, and letting us all steal his secret weapons. In all, I consider this painting practice a success, I made some mistakes but was able to recover and learn a lot from them, and that was the point. Some details aren't great (ie, windows) because I was just sloggin' through all that to get to paint and polish. I think I've got enough confidence to try a two tone on a much bigger project now. I am quite pleased. I only with the sun was out higher to give you all a better look at that gorgeous Cobra Colors hue. Perhaps tomorrow if the rain holds.

Edit: Here is the original car, 1:1 (http://www.ict.ne.jp/~kimossan/fit/fit1.htm), let me know how ya'll think I did capturing the the look of that car.

WHOA! That is badass! If only i could work on my Ferio:( Damn Will, that thing looks soooooooooooooo sweet! I wouldn't mind driving that to schooL at all:)

The paint looks georgous, as well as the headlights !

Flawless, looks amazing.

Excellent job Will. The rims are well suited for the car, and paint. That black looks like a mirror. Great job!

Hey,

Beautiful color combo. Nice rims. It all looks great together. Don't look exactly like the real one-rims, grille, other body work- but it's still great looking. Nice clean build. Keep up the great work.

That looks awesome as hell!!! Great job Willimo!!!!!!

Looking good!

Couldn't get the stretch walls,huh?

Great two tone, everything seems to be minty, the back of the car looks perfect, What paint did you use for the rear lights?

Wow, That paint job is amazing! Looks really cool! :sunglasse

It's cool as H-E-Double Hockey Sticks!!:sunglasse

Wow!! looks Pimpin!!

fantastic work. a VIP fit, soooooo phat!

Looks super-fine. Can't wait to see the sunshine-y pics!!

This came out looking awesome! :thumbsup:

I really like the overall look of this car, the wheels and paint really are excellent.

Great work, keep it up!

Love the last pic, the shine on that roof is DEEP!

i just thought of a way to make stretchwall tyres.

it probably wont work, but if someone wants to try, go for it


get your dremel/drill and put the tyre on a round thing, like in this tutorial for scuffing.

do like the tut says, but instead of sanding the flat edge, sand the corner of the tyre until it is angled.

Very nice work. The paintjob is very tight. Good job.

' Your fit,... but my gosh..., don't.. you.. just.. know.. it' . The streets . I'm listening to their album right now :grinyes:

Btw, very good job Will :thumbsup: It's well known I'm not a big fan of Hondas but your job is absolutely marvelous. Each model coming out of your hands makes me want to do a Honda. You're such a source of inspiration.
I really like this color combo and you did it so well. The body is a real mirror :eek:. And the rims ... I love everything.

As Tonio would say: Pure C:sunglasse:sunglasseLNESS

Great work, and very clean!

Congrats!

Very nice!

Great work nice colors, and I must say I like the wheels on the model more than the real thing. By the way what make are these wheels.

Impressive build, well done.......!!!

Mike :sunglasse

Thanks for the kind words, everyone, I am proud of the paint on this one. The encouragement from you guys makes it better.

The wheels are Fujimi Work Euroline. (http://www.hlj.com/product/FUJ19235)

Thanks everyone!

Wow! The difference between the pics is like night and day!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

It looks great in the light. Definately one to be proud of. :bigthumb:

Excellent work! I may be biased but the paint appears to have come out beautifully. The metallic color balanced well and the whole finish is polished to a fine gloss. That's particularly evident on the expanse of the roof. The wheels really set it off too. :smile:

Those outdoor pics rock! The orange looks soooo much better in the sun. I just had to comment.

That turned out real sweet!! Great job!!

Smooth, suave, subtle, sweet and superb model.

Good to see it went together like this

Oli

yeah i like it a lot,
shiny and original,very very great work!!
