No, just some of the sponsor decals like Sparco and others. Tuner 206!

2 places:

1. Dupli-Color Mirage from Wal-Mart...around 20$

2. TVR "Reflux" automotive paint. Exclusive to the Tuscan Speed cars....

Brian

Yup, comes in a pack of 3 can Step system.
Brian

I need to know some colors that would match this car well. Like for the wheels, roll cage and details. Like I dont know what color of shocks to scratchbuild.
Any ideas are welcome...
Brian

Well, try and see what it would look like if you used the 2 colors of the mrage paint. like both colors for the interior and lets say purple for the springs.

Sweet paintjob!

Cool paint job. :cool: :cool: Wish there were more pics.:D

All my walmart sells is cotton candy and clothes. Thats it. I need to find somewhere else to buy this stuff :(

It looks VERY nice. It reminds me of the tuner magazines I baught from Europe :D . I believe you're the first one to do this paint job on this car, right?

Thats one sweet colour you have there k_dog hehe
My wife's gonna luv this one.

Very unique.

Great colour.

I think it's great so see people doing tuner versions of Rallycars. Personallty I don't really like the look of them. But as long as people are buying and building WRCs then the likes of Tamiya and Hasegawa will keep giving us new kits. So go ahead and make wierd versions everybody. Then the 'purists' like myself will be able to do our thing too :D

BTW k_dog what is it with you and Freakray? Your avatars are strangely complimentry.

lol...the only reason I am building a tuner version of the Pug is because it was the first of my rally cars to mess up and get fed up with. So instead of dealing w/the decals right now, I took the easy way out. I will be doing this car again in the future because I'm a fan of Marcus.

In regards to the avatars....I just logged on one day and Ray's was the opposate of mine....wierd eh? I like it though.

I don't see how without it being really expensive, or having to go by surface, since it is an aerosol.

That is one nice color...How much did the can of paint cost cuz i mite do a car in that color

It's the Peugeot 206 WRC kit, Brian mentioned in one of his posts that he used the WRC 2001 kit for it.

RAY!

MODELCARGARAGE!

Ok update, I have the body complete (painting) and have started the Suspention and Chassis. I also wil be making my own of which I will be posting a "How to" in the forums.
Brian

Looks good. Cant wait to see it finished, i bet it will be a very unique model ;) :)

i got the feeling of doing 206 right now thank k dog i hope to see your done job soon the colour is wonderfull :flash: :flash:

Great looking 206 paint job!!!

Just one question though, Where did you find TVR "reflux" paint in the US? :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

it must have been really expensive!

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

LOL, I dont have the money for the TVR Refulx colors although the thought did cross my mind to try and get some.
This is actualy duplicolor mirage from Wal-mart.
it's about the same thing just not as high quality as TVR's automotive paint.
I would have prefured to have the Reflux red/orange from TVR.
Brian

Too Ricey or should I put more on???

http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/193645Cnv0004.jpg


Ok and here is the wheels and I am STILL undecided so heres the comparison:

Gunmetal
http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/434446Cnv0005.jpg

White
http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/840772Cnv0006.jpg


Give me some idea's because this is my First Tuner attempt and I want it to look good.
Brian

ithink white will stand out more and enough on stickers.. it looks sik man keep it up

DEFINATLY the darker colored rims :cool: . the white ones just seem odd on it.

I just thought the White brings it out more....But the gunmetal DOES look nice...hmmmm

I love it...keep those stickers...dont put too many and also keep the gunmetal rims on a car that colorful

but one of the most important things of a show car is the rims and the paint is more dominent over the gunmetal rims so its like they arnt even there, the white ones looks sick cuz it makes the car complete in all of its aspects

my 50 CENT!!! lol :P

WoW!!!

do what u want.... i dun think the decals are that ricey... it is a rally kit right! lol just no alteeza taillights

Personally I prefer the gunmetal colored wheels, but the white ones look fine too.
Just remember the Peugeot is a 5-bolt hub, I see those gunmetal ones in the photo are 4-bolts.

I think it looks great. Pick gunmetal for choice of rims.

Is that a mold line I see?

Ya as you have stated before Ray, they are from the Focus I did and are simply used to show what the gunmetal wheels would look like.
Brian

Oh and Thanks goes out to Ray for the "warm towel" method of setting decals. Thanks alot!!!

well....should I?????

http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/459671Cnv0011.jpg

NO:eek:

You have an AWD 300hp car there, it don't need nitrous to help it be quick......

I say... go ahead. I've seen 206's with nitrous, it's not "ricer" to have nitrous on your car, regardless of what people say. ;)

yea, NOS!! and go for the gunmetal colour for the 5 spokes rims.
it looks pretty good so far. can't wait till it's done :D

Update....

I lost front coilovers so I had to find them untill i could work again...
Heres what I made them look like.
