Actually its flat black, I think the light and the flash from my camera made it a little shinny.

*snif*

This is waaay too much flashbacks for me.. like back when i was 17 and all my friends already had their driving licenses but i had to wait all the way to September to get mine.. now that was a long wait and this isnt any easier..

What a pain and such a shame to live here in darkest corner of the world..

You need the white star and other milspec paint on there. Looks good though. How do you think this thing will handle on a sc track?

Yah, I'm working on the other little details like the white star and numbers.

It would probably have to be in a class on its own on a track. Once sway-bars are added, then it will handle high speed turns a lot better also.

Post pic's when done with the paint. I plan on using it here at the park. There's a lot of trails to mess around on and there's also a bmx track and sc track. Just thought it would be fun to use in all those app's...

Thanks, I just used some Rustoleum Military Green Camo paint. Home Depot sells a couple of different colors that are made for Camo paint jobs.

Eventually I'll get some matching bead lock rings.

Very nice rig!!!

I like also the paint very much, but would it not flake off
on the lightest crash because itīs not a lexan color???

I still never understand why thereīs not only olive green
lexan spray paint on the market
