Fujimi Murcielago and Gallardo - Combined Progress

[Eric Cole]

Here's one more of each of the Murcielago and Gallardo by Fujimi.

Both are being built out of the box as stock Lambo's....

Anyway, the Murcie is painted with Tamiya TS-49 Bright red and the wheels are Gunmetal Metalizer over aluminum lacquer. The interior will be two tone red and white.

The Gallardo is pianted with Tamiya TS-53 Deep Metallic Blue, the wheels wheel be repainted aluminum. This car will have a blue and white interior.

I've included pics of the Gallardo before and after polish. I would have normally stripped the paint off the car and started over but I was convinced by Veyron and CADguy that it could be saved. It took some work but I'm happy with the results and happy to report that I didn't burn through any edges anywhere.

The blue paint is difficult to photograph. It looks like the paint is thin on the edges and panel lines but in person it doesn't look that way. It must just be the effects light has on the paint.

[CADguy]

Awesome colors on both!
Great work saving that Gallardo paintjob.

They look awesome, great paintjobs on both of them

[Eric Cole]

Thanks everybody.

99civichic, I use a MicroMesh polishing set (various grades of polishing cloth's, from course to extra fine) followed by 3M liquid polish and then Scratch X or Tamiya Finish Compound.

Kewl! Great color choices.

Nice work on the Gallardo paint, that's a very hard color to photograph to see the color and to buff out.

I see no "before" pictures, they all look great! Effect of the blue on the Gallardo is strange how it picks up the edges like that, kinda cool.

Some of the Murcie updates:

I changed my mind on the interior colors and decided on two tone red and black instead of red and white. I felt that the darker colors would be a better overall match with the gunmetal wheels.



And the finshed wheels with brakes added and the calipers painted yellow. That should look decent on a red car. (I destroyed one of the center hub decals with micro-sol, but I'll find a replacement before it's complete)


Thanks for looking.....
