Anything made in dicast can be taken apart. The windshield might need rivits drilled out but it's not hard to do |

Ive painted a few metal models in my day. Just use regular Testors or a comparible paint. Not really any different than a hardbody.

If he supplies the paint just charge for your time but I would avoid a rattle can unless it's the good stuff.. Anything less and it looks like plastic. A friend charges $20 per color on a 1/64th scale and only uses house of colors. One warning though.. Diecast customizing is addictive.  |
