here we go, just started the paint, it still needs more coats but here it is as of now, it has custom mixed 04' bmw z3 urban green paint. i got the idea from import racer magazine hence these photos, it will look something kinda like this when its done...

heres my begining color stages of the paint...

comments?

Nice to see another Honda builder here. Isn't that Mike G's EG6? Good start to the model. I know of another modeller on Honda-Tech that showed me his work and was also trying to replicate the same car. Keep up the good work!

PS: Be very careful with those pillars especially when you're polishing. That's when you don't realize it and SNAP (I have had my share of A-Pillars snap on me)

Damn, you keep finding the cool colors

Dupli Color makes that right? Are you going to get the Fujimi Spoon's and paint them white to copy the Regamaster's?

Nice so far I really like how your replicating a 1:1 car.

imola, i airbrushed it with some createx auto air colors that i mixed, but i got bad news, i ran out of the color i was using so then i had to make more and it ended up being too dark, and i dont wana restart so ima just finish it,

, but with the rims i dont have any money to buy any but i did think of that spoons idea, but i think i will just have to find something i got. thanks for the comments

Ask and you shall have...I have a set I can donate to the AF Honda Modeller Fund...hit me up I think we can work out something for them. What good is a replica without the right wheels?

hey imola, the only bad thing about those paints is that they are water based, so if you try to do carbon hoods and stuff the paint will try to come off some, so i had to clear coat it up to 1 wet coat before i did the carbon stuff, and then i finished clear coating, those colors work excellent with automotive clear coats, it says on the back
