Polizei 144 Ferrari 550 Maranello

Looking good! I think the wheels and brakes came out excellent! IMHO the car looks pretty cool in white... You given us all these test-shots with the decals over white primer, and I'm almost sold on white as the final color. Your call. If you really hate white, maybe go with the black to resemble the Bentley you posted.

Paint update... Today i went to take my spray cans from the hobby shop... bought afew at one time as i need to restock! took a picture of my spray cans for fun.. and i think im spending that much just on colours... not counting the primer + clear...



Anyway more importantly progress on the car

Pictures are bad today ... so kindly bare with me

Colours for the car is Dark mica blue and Racing white



Model was already primed awhile back .. I applied the racing white on parts that were suppose to be white "duh" ok i know its obvious .. Reason for racing white is that , it gives a more creamy look which i feel is much more interesting then pure white or matt white which is too clean. Might be hard to see but there quite a obvious tone the white to me.



Something i did while waiting for the paint to dry. Chrome parts are metalizers.. addictive stuff one u start!



Just a snapshot of it fitted onto to the car itself.



Little masking for the white parts before a light clearcoat to prevent leaking hopefully :P



After 2 mist coats of Metallic Blue and one wet coat. Heres what u get!



Now after applying the Dark mica blue .. 2 light coat ( different from mist as it covers the whole body properly ) 2 wet coats for shine.



Looks black doesnt it? Then again....



Very VERY sorry for the crappy pictures. Got some sanding to do to remove flaws in the paint after which ill lay another 2 coats of paint maybe?

Enjoy! Hope to see more feedback. As its a form of motivation for me. And it shows me people watch and follow my thread.

Still following

Ok managed to get hold of a program to capture screenshots of a video... so now its time for the pictures of the car and Alex Roy. LOL . Alex is a funny guy but at the same time he is quite an $#$@! himself HAHA... He stops the whole rally just because he had to change his engine battery LMAO...
Alex :


Car pictures:












And this picture is really funny..! Alex is so desperate to get first to reach the checkpoint that he actually drives on the freaking train tracks just to beat the morning rush hour!



Hope this brings a smile to your face! I Aspire To Be A Gumballer One Day!

very clean, i love the last pic with the final coat. hey, do you think that you could spar one can of yellow? i never have enough to buy the good paint, so i always end up with crappy testors stuff. P.M.me if you can. thanks

Just an update on the car after removing the masking + some preview of the interior
And this might be the final decal.. Bentley logos are there for fun.



I might print some extras and give them off. So pm if you want one and ill consider Also tell me what car you plan to use it on... Please be honest thanks! Oh yeah and following and giving me feedback on my project gets you a higher chance :P

Body is done more or less... i touch up as much as i can with the small leaks , other then that im hoping the decals will cover it. HOPEFULLY. Body needs sanding im spotting orange peel there. Weird thing is i dont see them with my eyes , only seeing them on pictures .






Interior of the car... Upper dash board which is the piece with the speedometers are in gunmental.. the rest of the dash is in black and the bottom in italian red

Seats are prob gonna be Option parts F430 seats
Thats all for now! Thanks for the feedback too.

Yea that is a lot of orange peel. If I was you, I would wet sand the car and give it one more good coat until it turns out right
