I still dont know a sutable color. I was thinking a dark color.
Thanks for looking.

how about a gun metal or a deep purple

Yea, Gunmetal sounds nice. I may just go with Nighthawk Black, or Metallic orange pearl.

nighthawk all the way then wet sand it with 2000 until you see silver spots from the pearl then clear it twice more and it will look awsome! :)

Very tough looking front on this kit.

A dark colour will hide alot of the kit...go for a brighter colour to bring it out more.

Very agreeable, a dark color would hide most of its beauty. I may go with the color on the kit. All depends whats avalible at my Local shop.

Thanks for the input.

Silver :p

yea i think you shud go with the gunmetal or the nighthawk black..

How about something totally outta left-field for skylines, YELLOW! :evillol:

Silver :p
Yea, I think I may go with that. I have a can of Sterling Mist By Duplicolor(8800591). Its a Nissan Sentra color.

Sweeet ! Go for it! :thumbsup:

hmm silvers nice but almost every skyline i see is silver..id go for something thats a lil different but thats just me :)

id go with the r34 blue.

TS34 Camel Yellow from Tamiya would be the go i say. yeah i agree with a lighter colour to bring out the details.

Nice kit, go for that yellow paintjob!

Im stuck, I want to use my NT03's, But then I want to use the Supplied Veilside wheels. So im going to see what you guys think.

Whatever wheel I choose, will effect the cars exterior color.
Thanks for looking

the NT-03M please, has a more original style to it. :smokin:

If I go with the Veilsides, this is the Piant scheme I will go with (Orange Metallic paint job, with gold centers on the veilside wheels.)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v669/FeintMotion/4_29_X.jpg
Minus the Wing, and Decals/vynals :grinyes:

i saw the veilsides because im a deep dish fan.

Veilside for Veilside. To quote John Weatherspoon..."you gotta coordinate". LOL

It's up to you. That's just my opinion.

Well, considering the body styling isn't exactly performance oriented, I'd go with the Veilsides. They fit the style of the car, I think.

veilside definatly
i want to see the finished product!

I say go for the veilsides, they will look good on the paint, and the less spokes on the rims, the better ;)

I'd go for the Veilside wheels.

My vote is Yellow with White NT-03M's

id say make the NT-03s with a big rear lip

Veilsides with the paint scheme u piked is gonna look pretty tight

My vote is Yellow with White NT-03M's:iagree:

I prefer the VeilSide rims...but it's your choice :D

PS: any update?

Guess my plans didnt go out as planned.

Killer pics! Nice work. I still love that color.

I was playing around with the Paint Program, I may paint the centers semi Gloss black. What do you think?

Nice kit! But I decided to go with the V's. I think the chrome flows more with the color.

In that case, snap (well nearly !) :lol2:

Damn! That thing is lowwwww! :lol: I have to finish my Skyline:lol: I'm too lazy.

Thanks for looking.

Wow it's coming along really great, amazing job so far.

Nice progress so far. I'd personally go with the NT-03s, but its ur model, not mine, so yea...that's an awesome exhaust u've got there. How did u make it?

I managed to get the car cleared last week, The rain out here sucks, Im not used to it. :grinno:
Anyways, Heres the car cleared, To bad the sun didnt come out today, otherwise the pictures would have came out better.
