£14.99 for 100ml (I think thats the normal minimum they'll do unless you've got a friend there) - Stacks left tho so you'll probably see the colour turn up on another project at some time.
Cheers
Andy

Window trim sprayed satin black (thanks to Hiroboy for the templates) and rear lights sprayed with Alclad chrome.
I'm just messing about with different wheels at the moment.


Also I'm tempted to cover the hood bulge with C/F - bit like a shaker scoop on a muscle car

Looks good as it is, i like those rims you have under there now tho, the taillights look good in alclad, and i say put some c/f on the hood hump, just to see how it'll look.

A bit more progress - lights, grilles & glass fitted - tried the c/f on the hood - decal took no problem - I think I read somewhere that decals take better on a gloss finish - imo it looked a bit odd so will go just with the plain hood. Hope to spray the interior today.


Again the wheels aren't final just threw the first set available under it to take pics
Andy

Andy,
I like the Kranze 10-spoke wheels the best. The Nismo's are a bit too simple for the lines of the RX-8. Otherwise, an excellent build.

Re: Re: In Progess "Aero" RX8
finally. an interior. nice, but why would you need all that sound? I mean hey, you could always just roll the windows all the way down, downshift to 3rd and punch it to 9,000rpm. Isn't that enough beautiful music, Andy?
