Recently I bought this aoshima model. I'm thinking about the paint job on the body now...and it's not yet complete yet. I still have the interior to do. I'm thinking about gulf livery or martini livery on it...what do you think should be done instead?

add: oh yes, what do you think about a bit of camber and JDM spec interiors?

Self etching auto primer should melt the plastic nicely.

AHHHHH...as much as I would want that, a 1:43 body is already a bitch to paint and that would be...difficult.

I'm putting on a shelf at the bike shop I work at, so I'm probably not going to...

Okay, I'm sure I have an unopened gallon, and a stainless tub in my shop somewhere.

I can take more in-game shots of either the Datsun or the BMW for you. The BMW has the more refined version of the livery.

It's a custom one I made for Oppo Fourza. It's not a real-life livery.

if I do that, Im probably going to (try) to mimic the rear quarters design of the 918 but add more wraparound design

Kinja'd!!!

Kinja'd!!!

Of this Porsche. especially in the downward direction of the livery in the front as well as the possibility of the front design with this open wheeled ground effected monster

Kinja'd!!!

The loop around of the front. That's perhaps ambitious. But martini.

oh. This might be a viable one, as it's less complicated than pinstriping oh so tiny martini stripes.

Black with a trans am bird on the hood?

I would have to make a trans am model decal if so. I found a small block gm engine from a Impala in another kit I have. It might fit.

Maybe. It's viable, especially with the paint job.

The tricky part will be the decals. Asahi beer, Mashimoto tires, GoPro, Yokohama, Brembo... can't remember the rest.
