ProGress:PEARL WHITE GTR R33

[NissanS15Racer]

Here are some progress pictures on my current projeKt, its a Tamiya Skyline GT-R R33 right now its just primered and its waiting to get painted in Tamiya pearl white straight from the can . the only modification that i have done to it is that i put putty on where the front license plate was and of course iam going to be adding a carbon fiber hood and wing. Now iam not sure want wheels to go with either the stockies but in black or bronze with a polished lip, Or with some BBS's in gold with a polished lip. Man iam not sure what to go with do you guys have any suggestions maybe on some others wheels????

Looking very nice so far, I think bronze TE37's would suit it very well, if you have them.

Now that i remember i think i do have a pair but they are 17'' rims

[lmdrs22]

hmm.. maybe either 18" Blitz BRW type 03 if you can find them, http://www.hlj.com/scripts/hljpage.cgi?AOS24782 or Workmeister S1's
http://www.hlj.com/scripts/hljpage.cgi?AOS31148

I think either of these would look great- but its your car

Work Meister S2 work really well with the R33 also.

Hmm... Bronze TE37's would look exceptional, but so would a nice set of Workmeisters.

Agree

Nice color choice! Can't wait to see the finish piece. As for the wheels I would have to say put some 19" Aoshima Vienna Kreis on it with pearl white center. As for the TE37s, IMO, it's too typical now a days.

I went to my LHS to buy the rims and i got the Aoshima Work Meister S1's i used a set on my Altezza and i just love the way they look


Iam going to paint the center gold or should i go with a light gunmetel center ??
oh yeah iam also going to be posting pic's later on tonight on the progress that i have made

S1's work just as good. One thing....watch your brake clearance on those.

White car. hmmmm......black spokes/chrome dish.

Well here are some pictures of what i was able to do tonight, the body only has 3 mist coats on it and iam going to give it the wet coats tomorrow. I was able to paint some underbody parts. Now the wheel i still havent made up my mind on the color i want the center to be GOLD. BLACK, LIGHTGUN METAL ???

I really want to see how this white pearl comes out... is it the TS white pearl from Tamiya? I ask because I want to compare with the Lancer I'm building... I tried a different paint and boy I'm so happy with it. Too bad it sound a bit sissy but mine is nail polish from Sally Hansen called "White south Sea Pearl" from their Prism color and beleive me... it's pretty impressive !! But a bit harder to shoot and polish to have a decent finish, so I want to see if it worth the effort...

Ho, and for the wheels... gold and white are classy.

Gold/Bronze or white spokes will look awesome on the Work wheels.
