here is my current build not to detailed just thought the colors looked good together duplicolor red to blue kameleon with manganese brown pearl wheels and bronze carbon fiber decal by SMS on hood and spark plug wire cover not to sure about interior colors yet but the engine bay will remain flat black so the engine looks like your looking at a piece of jewlery. I will add a fuel rail and sakatsu trumpets to itb's w/ linkages and throttle cable.
as always any comments or suggestions welcome.

Nice paint job and c/f hood.
Looks like the B16A is gettin' quad throttles?

damn...that is a beautiful paint job. loving the cf hood action. The only thing i would say is to do the kameleon color on the engine bay too.

lookin flawless! i dont see how you can get duplicolor to lay down so smooth before polishing/sanding, always fights with me

thanx for the nice words. I don't know if you have ever used the kameleon colors but it is a three step system the first two steps lay down nice like a primer. I dont use their clear I switch to tamiya as it lays down much smoother, both are lacquers so there is no adverse effects.

thanx! The hood did'nt really need the polish I just wanted to see if I could get a deeper shine. I laid down 6 coats of tamiya TS-13 gloss clear then wet sanded 1500, 2000, then compound and polish. I am very pleased with the results heres more pics after polish
