Nice colour!!! But i did my skyline R33 with this lavender colour bt the outcome is different from yours... I think it due to the base colour. Mine is lighter purple hehe ;)

srlxy

03-09-2003, 08:13 AM

I took the photo in the night under minimum lighting so thus the effect... its kind of light not that dark...

:newburn: I baught a can of that color hopong to get that shade, which is the color I had in mind, but when I sprayed it ... it looked way too light and I got mad that I wasted money buying a bottle of spray, How did you get that shade? I know you took the pic in dim light but I can imagine it in a lighter room and it still looks like the shade I want, what color did you use for a basecoat????

Looks VERY VERY VERY nice, possibly one of the best colors I've seen for a model. :cool:

Ageed with all who have posted before - that is an awesome color. I think it is more interesting and sleeker than even black, because it responds differently to different levels of light, and gives the contours of the car different intensities of the light it reflects. The color is a bit different, but close to the color of my teg (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2071).

Greetings SH.
Love the colour and nice bodykit :)

I used a base of MR HOBBY BASE WHITE. Only a mist of 2 coats applied.
As for the colour, it was also given a mist of 2 coats. Meaning light coats. The can was warmed for about 5 mins for each coat.

Yup, opening the door and trunk.. Wanted to open the bonnet for scratch built engine but to lazy to scratch built it... Will be spraying the interior tomorrow.

you can try pasting some chrome stickers around it..
so that it can reflect the LED light better..

Or try taping the LED head so that the head wont 'shine' that much..

juz my 2 cents..:2cents:
