Default Project: This are lyke da 7598th Saleen project...

I didn't have a name for this project, just another painting thing.

I recently bought a new Barricade body and decided to apint the old one. Like Xmodkidd.

And, the color I'm gonna paint it is orange by Tamiya. I was originally going to do a dark metallic orange, but Hobbytown USA didn't have that in stock.

mmm... orange...



Original body:



Masked body:



I was looking for some Tamiya putty, but Hobbytown ran out of that... So I got this:


30 minute drying time. And, it's not to shabby.


Puttied parts:



Sanded and patially finished puttied body



It's in for primering now. Just need to touch up a few things and it'll be ready for some paint.

I hope the scotch tape on your windows is enough to keep the paint from seeping in.

Good luck and nice color choice!

Thanks guys!

I've gotten the primer down




Still a few rough spots, but they'll hopefully be gone with a bit of sanding.




The front bumper was surely a pain in the *** trying to fill in those two holes for the ram bar. It's not perfect, but it'll do.

Looking pretty good,if I were you,I would heat up a Xacto/Razorblade and cut open the hood vents and put black mesh,but it would look kinda the same,but a little better IMO.

Btw,Where did you get your Putty?LHS right?
