Painting an AE86 Trueno

[HellGuard99]

I'm thinking of getting an unpainted AE86 Trueno body to fit it over my Evo chassis, what do I have to do and I'm going to model it after Initial D's AE86, should a more glossier look be applied or more flatter look?

[blckhwk422]

Personaly id go with a glossy look. probably red

If you bothered to read his post, he's modeling it after Initial D's 86. The only car I can thing of in Initial D thats red is that EG6 Civic. The 86 in Initial D was a panda Trueno. Black+white.

Oh are you serious? I must be blind because I could only find unpainted version in which I only searched the MR-010 AWD or w/e

[REDisFASTER]

The original Initial D AE86 Edition Mini-Z was on an MR-015 chassis, so searching for it as an AWD wouldn't help at all.

first off its iggy not izzy and he is not the main charicter. tak is and he has a black and white ae86 trueno and iggy ends up getting a red ae85 wich looks almost the same just doesnt have pop up head lights and it only has sohc engine so he is write it is black and white not red.

yeah but nissan350shift said
"there is a initial d ae86 tureno body you ca just buy......."

I'd rather buy the already-done body than paint my own initial d modelled body.

[Nissanshift350]

yeah there are 3 different initial d kyosho mini z bodys. i have the yellow rx7. i wish i would have got the trueno instead and then they have the white rx7. and i found mine on ebay and i plan on having all 3 soon. im working a deal right now to get some black rims with chrome lip for my trueno project

I'm waiting for color0 to post here...

I have no knowledge of Initial D characters and their vehicles, but it getting annoying listening to you guys talking about it. Stay on topic or this thing gets locked up...

Whats wrong with them answering my questions so I dont have to make another thread to fill the **** General Section with questions. I'm asking for an alternative - where can I get a Panda colored AE86 Trueno and NissanShift answered it. So whats your deal now?

[Nissanshift350]

i have full knowelege of initial d so if you ever have any other questions about it let me know. and if u wanna see my initial d car give me ur email and ill send pic. i cant post a pic in this thread cause im using a internet phone

So I shall post.

SHHHHHH.

Anyhow, the original question was glossy or flat. The Initial D AE86 is a daily driver but clean, so think "slightly glossy". I take it you have all the reference pictures you need from Google, so this should be easy for you. I'm in the middle of semi-replicating Tsuchiya's TRD AE86 (I have my own taste buds too) so we're kinda in the same boat.

[HellGuard99]

We're kinda on the same boat, except I have never painted an object in my entire 13 years of life in which I intend on
1. Apply white base
2. Mask off the whites and spray on the black parts
3. I dont know how to paint the orange light thingy on the side(i'm colorblind if i'm wrong) part so I'm prob gona leave that out or paint it black
4. Apply mounting stuff and put it on xmods.. >_< hope i'm not too far off of what i'm suppost to do
