I dont think I can race this one though because it seems really brittle. Dont care too much about bashing it up, I'm just affraid it will fall apart. Custom made right headlight cover. I lost that little cool Ferrari emblem on the back. I might paint one freehand not sure. Some mirrors would be cool too. Title: Re: 575 GTC aka Green Machine Post by: briankstan on April 15, 2008, 08:57:27 AM you should be able to free hand it. it's just painted on anyways it's not an applied emblem.
it looks great though. what is the green color? Title: Re: 575 GTC aka Green Machine Post by: Nic-z on April 15, 2008, 09:01:20 AM very nice dude, do you use a hobby airbrush or rattle can, I know a couple of you guys sport the airbrush and I am debating going into that scene just haven't decided on it.
Title: Re: 575 GTC aka Green Machine Post by: Russ on April 15, 2008, 09:17:40 AM Thanks!
Brian, Actually it is an emblem. I removed it, its held on with those little pins you can see in the back of the car. But while removing parts from the bag I kept them in it must have fallen out and its so small I cant find it. For paint I actually used some lexan paint I had left over from painting poly carbonate bodies then clear coated with testors the color is Kiwi Lime I think. I wasnt sure it would work but it seems to be fine. Nic, Yes I used an airbrush. My wife bought me a cheap one years ago and I really like it. Its made by Testors and you can get them at Wal Mart. Its plastic but its a two stage and works great. I will get a nicer one someday but for now its fine. Harbor Freight has a nice Airbrush Kit (http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=95630) for $79.99 with a compressor if you need one, but if you watch thier ads they always put it on sale. Or I usually always have a 15% off coupon. Title: Re: 575 GTC aka Green Machine Post by: briankstan on April 15, 2008, 09:20:04 AM I assumed it was like the emblem on the 360 body.
Title: Re: 575 GTC aka Green Machine Post by: Nic-z on April 15, 2008, 10:00:13 AM very nice thanks for that, I will watch the freight and see when it goes on sale, I have a semi trailer I need to paint as well plus a few other projects, a few super slicks I have I wanted to paint etc. thanks.
