NFSU inspired RPS13

[Orion37170]

Hi volks,
got fed up with the VW's so i started this one





Kit was the Fujimi OK Racing 180SX, used Putty for the Bodykit (Fenders, Skirts, Frontbumper) Wing from SAS, Intercooler from Scalespeedworks

Still needs Decals and the Exhaust of course but....what happenend with my paint?????
(Scarabeus prismatic from Aclad2)

looks cool, but it also looks like a toy for some reason?

I usually need to clear that paint with several coats and then polish it out before I get a good finish with it. I like the project!!

@zwaag: is that positive or negative

[jgmodelcars]

i like the theory but what did happen with the paint? thats weird. and i don't really see how its NFSU inspired... but maybe thats just me.

[Orion37170]

i ment that the paint is a bit crapped, some furows suddenly appeared
it's NFSU inspired 'cause i build it just the same in the game, just wait till i applied the decals which might take some time as i am thinking of renewing the paintjob

yeah i noticed the furrows and i guess i didn't realize what you meant by decals so now i understand, i think if you apply the decals and add A LOT of clearcoat and polish it out its hould be ok. good luck.

looks good, idk what the deal with the paint is tho

You may have sprayed either too much primer or too much paint. I had that problem when priming my FD's chassis. After a few overly-thick coats, huge cracks appeared in my primer. They didn't appear for a day or so, so I was glad it was only on the interior. Had it been on the body, they would have cracked under my paint, leaving it looking like yours. That's all I can think of... the primer cracking under the paint (somehow)... Who knows, though.

I like the blue paint. Is that a shift colour? Seems to become green at another angle. Reminds me of the Nokia 6110 with shift colour near similar to yours.

[Orion37170]

@willimo: that really maybe the cause.....will try it again with another primer and try to make lighter coats
@shieldwulf: yes it's shift colour, or prismatic or however it's called in english, it's named "scarabeus" by AlcladII, green to blue; the nokia 6110 was my first cellular ;-), thought of it to, when i saw how the paint came out

Not a bad car. But cool anyway.

[Orion37170]

Tried to polish them off but wasn't satisfied. So i put the body into some NaOH and now it seems as the paint is completely stripped off.
When have repainted it i will show some pis of the "new" version

[Snooker]

Can't wait to see that "bad boy" with the new paint job, hurry up, dude!
