Boring Skyline progress pics...

Hi. I started this a while ago. Sold the wheels that were originally supposed to be on it. I'm having some doubt about it so suggestions are more than welcome. I decided to try to get it finished. here's what I have. Thanks.

If you ask me, it doesn't look boring at all. The color and wheel choice looks great, but since you're looking for suggestions maybe you could paint the wheel centers. Maybe something like gunmetal/black on the front with white on the rears, unless you want to keep it all the same.

Re: Boring Skyline progress pics...

boring and skyline aren't allowed to be in the same sentence!! don't you know that, clearly written in the skyline owner manual!

great progress, i love the paint and the rims are looking real good!! stick in there, it'll be all good.

Very nice body color!

I suggest painting the inside spokes with Tamiya Smoke...will give a nice tone to flow w/ the body

Re: Boring Skyline progress pics...

Dude- Workmeister's look awesome on that R33!! Nice color choice. Is it sitting at the stock ride height? looks really good. Maybe some RED brake calipers?? I'm gonna disagree with these guys on the wheels- I think it would be better to play it down on the wheels on this one- paint the center cap (maybe gunmetal?), but not the spokes- the silver finish looks perfect with your body color already. What color interior are you going for?

Re: Boring Skyline progress pics...

Heh, thanks guys I'll get a picture of the interior later on today hopefully. The paint is from a '99 Pontiac Grand Prix. I am not really into this project but I can't just let it go to waste I'll actually try to finish this one for once!!
