Race Spoon S2000 Thread
I've decided to drop all my current projects and put all efforts into semi-scratch building the Spoon S2000 Race Car. Here is a picture of the body with all badge guide lines, gas tank doors..etc removed or filled in with putty. Also Spoon front lip added with epoxy putty.

Should be an interesting one! Will the paint job be like the Gran Turismo 3 car? What wheels will you use?
Tell us more?

Hopefully it'll look like this when its finish


The wheels will be Work Emotion CR mod from the Mugen MF-10 that came with the model. Click here to see the wheel

The body is all prepared...should I prime it? its going to be a race car, is it really nesseary?

Forgot one thing....White sponsers stickers!!! What to do?!?!?!? There's no way I can find something that prints white!! Any ideas?

Excellent choice of wheels.
Yes...prime the body. Doesn't matter if its a passenger or race car, they all need to be primmed.

Not sure on the stickers. What about computer cut ones?
I've had the odd one done and they dont turn out to bad. Can look a bit thick though.

A tricky one! i would suggest gettting a white decal sheet and cut out each letter by hand - a tough job!!! maybe u could print out the lettering in reverse on the back of the sheet to give u the guide???

Failing that my other suggestion would be to see if a high street printers could print the white letters onto a clear decal sheet.

What race series is it from? I used to have a bunch of pics of a different Spoon/GT S2000, but I lost them all.

Um....question, if I spray on 1, 2 coat of dark blue and then 1 or 2 coat of light blue, would the end result be a midmun blue?

OR am I better off using a white primer with the dark blue and hope it'll be a lighter shade

You're better off getting a can of paint of the exact colour you need

That attitude will never work in modelling! Either do it right or not at all!
Any skimping will show, so you need to decide if you really want to do that race S2000 or just a road car! If you haven't got the right paint, go for the latter!
