Not great but not terrible. 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.

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?

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.

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 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.

I assumed it was like the emblem on the 360 body.

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.
