Thanks, here you go. Not the best pictures. It's been raining all day so light is dim.

Added some of the Kyosho decals and some from my sticker drawer.
New tires coming and I bought some white and gold wheels to mix and match.

Had to do a little fender trimming the body is not a 100% wheelbase match but darn close with some minor trimming.

Thanks again to Ryan at BC Paints! for the paint job.
Check him out in the Vendors section.

I bought the whites to possibly paint gray toobut pink just might look good too.

Might prime the golds and paint them pink and keep the whites around too. This car needs inner fenders to clean up the look. Might mess with doing that soon.

That looks great. I really don't like Lancers, but that one is fantastic.

much much better

[buzzbuzzard]

Wow, Way nice. Don't scratch it. I agree, paint the gold pink and keep the white. Sweet, I really like how your body came out . A lancer in my future forsure.

Thanks, it's not a 100% rally spec paint theme but I like the way it turned out.

I know. The first one is going to hurt. I reinforced the inner front end and rear inner fender corners with fiberglass drywall mesh tape and shoe goo. Really firmed up the lexan.
I like the looks of the lancer as well.

Added "744" to the roof number panel. Pictures of fiberglass drywall tape shoe-goo'd to front end and back corners.

Whites painted pink, tires will be in tomorrow. Painted the golds gray.

Perfect

[TURTLE]

Straight up ballin'.

What type of paint did you use on the wheels?

Did you do any prep to help the paint adhere better?

Just sprayed it over the white wheels with no prep. I am impatient and living in a small town I have very limited resources. Found this at the hardware store, luckily. Flat neon pink.
RustOleum.com

I have no idea how long it will last. And can't really find any information on what type of paint it is. I'll probably regret it in the future but the wheels are only $6 a pair.

Have you thought of trying Plastidip? Plastidip comes in a lot of various colors. A lot of ppl plastidip their 1:1 vehicle badges/emblems/letters. There's YouTube videos of it. You can try vinyl wrap too like the ones they use on 1:1 wheels...

I used plasticdip on my DRX wheels, it still comes off, but not too badly.

Never tried it. I'll look into it if/when this paint comes off.

Got the tires in today. I'll come up with sometime for foams before too long.

Kinda like the neon pink wheels!
