Completed S2000 *many pics*

Here's my completed Honda S2000
No mods done to it.
Colour is Tamiya TS-54 Light Metal Blue. I was trying to get the S2000's Suzuka Blue Metallic

Which area of the tail lights are you asking? Is it the corner area which need to be red?

Very nice clean job of it!
Are the interiors in that car pose to be like dat or is the photo not bright enuff?
Otherwise, the colour choice is unique and the shine on it is good.
ng njh!

The colour in the pic is almost the same as my orginal.

Yup~
For the tail-lights, I painted the 'holes' and the corner to be painted red with chrome sliver first. Then the corner was then painted over with tamiya X-7 red.

I see.. thanks

Nice clean build. :)

Sweet, is that a tamiya kit?

Yup, Its a Tamiya kit. I think only tamiya makes the S2000. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Top job!

Great job, i love the colour.

Looks very good...the color is pretty close to the color you were trying to get

can see that you have improved alot....looks good from the pics....seems to me that the front right wheel height is slightly higher than the left....or is it my eyes playing trick on me?

Looks really nice and you did a very good job on building it!


If I were you, I shrink down the 13th pic and put it in the avater, you need one anyway right?

Good job dood. I really like the color.

Very tidy looking job

beautiful s2000 and a wonderful color......... i give you :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:

WOW, looks really good!

Must be your eyes play trick on you. They are the same height.

That's a good idea. Thanks for suggesting that.

And not a bad match for Suzuka Blue, either. :)

very nice, i really like that colour. Good choice.

very nice. Good choice on the clear diffusers and sidemarkers! only thing i dont really like are the bronze MF10s.. imo, dont look too good on suzuka blue

Good job and nice body colour choice dude!

Nice work!

njh, I liked that color so much i did a search to see some other cars with that same color. I found 2 cars that both used ts-54. One The wierd thing is that one of them looked turqoise(spelling?) and the other one looked like a VERY light blue. I's wierd that all 3 of you used the same can of spray but got 3 totally differet results. I just wnat to know how you got YOUR shade, because I don't want my car bieng turqouise or light blue. What color primer did you use? was it a hot day/cold day?

Sorry guys, I made a mistake in telling you guys the wrong colour code. The colour I used is TS-58 Pearl Light Blue. I used gray primer and sprayed 2 light coats, and 2 heavier coats. After that 2 light coats of clear then did some polishing and waxing.
I would say it was on a hot day for you. The weather here in Singapore is around is around 28 ~ 34 degrees celcius everyday.

Very sorry for my mistake.;)

Good job there!!

LOOKING GOOD!

Great job here!! :D I love the colour. Cheers!

Hope to see your S2000 soon.

njh, I'll probably do my lancer in that color, PROBABLY. It's a very nice color, but it might be too soft for a lancer.

I think it will be a unique colour for a lancer, but I doubt it will bring out the fierceness of it.

Yeah, you're right, in that case... I'll paint the lancer pink :)
