So, after last week's rather successful post of a bunch of random gift-pack crap, I went for a more... detailed approach. I really want to do customs on most of these, but since I'm rather nervous about ruining their value, you tell me how you want x model customized, and we'll work out a suitable form of exchange, be it Bitcoin, HWEP, or stray cats.
Aston Martin One-77. (Gloss silver, maybe?)
Lamborghini Countach. (Anything tasteless works on a Countach, so feel free to indulge your pinkish side.)
Lamborghini Reventon.
Mazda Furai.
Lotus Esprit.
Willys Dragster (and yes, I can do the same flames on a different color.
Chevelle Widebody

How much would you charge to do a BRE Datsun (I have the 510)

$5+return postage because it's a legend. How would you want it customized, though?

It's an awful yellow, I'd like it done up with BRE livery.

What do you use to strip the paint? That aerosol paint stripper stuff that people on youtube seem to use?

Eek. No. Chemicals. Bad. (Except in my food- better living through SCIENCE!).
I don't have a "workshop" per se (there's the little desk under my bed and the garage when the Volt isn't parked in it), so I try to stay away from harsh chemicals- although I'm considering using Pine Sol, which I've heard tell can strip the paint off of them. What I use is 220-grit sandpaper and elbow grease. (Top tip: Sand only in one direction, then, once all the paint is gone, use successively finer grits to remove scratches and polish the piece.)
