Progress: Ferrari 360 Modena Spider

99civichic · #1 04-03-2005, 05:53 PM

Every time I start a domestic lately, it turns into the project of the century. My latest, a 1969 Camaro+2001 Corvette, may be finished sometime in the next 4 years. I decided to start something of which I am completely ignorant. I had the Revelle Ferrari 360 Spider sitting on top of my "exotic" car pile, so I grabbed it and dug in. This one I decided will be displayed next to my Viper, so it had to be a color that would definately stand out next to that orange. It's a little crazy, but here it is:

This is the second wetcoat. I'll give it about a week, cut it, and put another coat of color on. Plans include a fairly detailed engine, black dash/carpet, and white seats. Feedback?

Crazy doesn't even begin to describe the paint. Wick....id is more like it!!

What type and brand is it?

New York Color Long Lasting Nail Enamel in #133A-Purple Pizazz Frost

So far I've used almost a bottle, at $0.93 each (at Wal-Mart). I love this stuff. Here's their site, for a full list of colors:

Looks like I need to send my wife to "Wally World" with the check card to get me some cool nail pol...errr...paint.

I have a few nail polish to be used for my car and yours look great on the Modena. As for the interior, why not white dash too instead of black? Just my two cents.

Looking at how the color came out, I probably will do the dash in white as well. Hey now, there's nothing wrong with guys looking at nail polish; not only did Will (will69camaro) look at the stuff with me and help me pick the color, he also paid for it!

looking good, the paint is different than normal, it will definetly stand out in a good way. I have the same kit and broke the window trim, so in the closet it went.

I too broke the window trim. I just glued it back together. Can't really sweat the small stuff!

Wooaa! That´s a verrrry nice color you´ve got there, can´t wait for more!

I think the color is indeed very cool. Can't wait to see it on the finished model

Hey now, I only have one model that's been put on hold indefinately! Poor Cobra....This one won't follow the same road, once it's got color on it, it looks so good on the stand I have to finish it. Painting the body first is great incentive! Stupid homework, keeping me from modeling!

I've already put it next to the Viper. They'll be good shelf-mates!

But then, it`s much more fun when you do it. Think of the boredom of being a professional modelbuilder

Anyway, i like purple. Give this "Modena Fiat" a set of chromed 22" something and a interior full of ICE, and you have your own "Pimp my Ferrari"-item
