[Black Gold 380R]

Hey new member here, a guy on a Facebook group I belong to sent me here because I was looking for someone to paint my model the same as my car. Any info would be great thanks! By the way all the cars in this post look awesome. I can only hope to have mine look like these.

Hello Henry.

I hear you when it comes to shipping. Normally things go well, but every once in a while something happens.

If you're comfortable taking the cars apart you could just send me the wheels and seats. Then I could send you the upgraded wheels and repainted seats.

When I first started the seats didn't look right in just MC base coat. Now I'm using my airbrush to feather the MC onto the seats and that technique seems to make them look more realistic.

Anyway, if you're interested or have any ideas send me a PM so we can discuss your options. Thank you.

I couldn't resist. Had to see what the SB and ZY looked liked in my collection. So, I set them in there before finishing the detail work.....

Think I need to build a SB and MC for myself LOL.....

 

[Black Gold 380R]

Okay, I got started on 3 builds. A RF Coupe and 2 x CO Verts. Only pictures of the RF so far....

Okay all,

Had to take advantage of the weather and get a couple cars sprayed over the weekend. I'm working on a RF coupe (Posted above) and these two CO Verts. It was not very warm, but the sun was out which allowed me to get the base coat sprayed.

(NOTE: I DID get the clear coat sprayed as well, but it was late and I did not get a chance to take pictures. I'll post pictures in clear coat tomorrow. The shine/reflection you see on the bodies of these cars is the just the "wet" base coat).

Can you please tell me where you get the true forged wheels for the Diecast cars? Iv got a Diecast I built and painted a couple years ago to replicate my snakeskin green 03 cobra. Now all I need is true forged Mach 5 wheels for it to complete a true replica of my car. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello,

I normally use eBay to find stuff.

I found these:

Set Of 4 Wheels And Tires With Screws 1/18 Scale Custom Or Repair Auto World | eBay

GMP 18898 1:18 Scale Wheel and Tire Set New in Package Free Shipping | eBay

This set is just like the ones of the pictures I posted (i.e. True Forged or Rovo Replicas on the SB body):
Five Spoke Low Profile Performance Wheels and Tires Set 1/18 by Greenlight 688939306075 | eBay

Thanks! I really appreciate it.

Okay all,

Continuing my work on three builds. Here are some updated pictures.

2 CO Verts...........

 

[Black Gold 380R]

Here are some shots of the interiors and wheels.........

Wheels BEFORE (Flat black and black caliper):

Wheels AFTER (Sprayed simulated Chrome and painted the calipers Aluminum):

 

[Black Gold 380R]

Here is the body mocked up with the wheels. The wheels are just sitting under the body. No suspension work has been completed yet.

 

[Black Gold 380R]

Here is some work I did on the RF.

Since I had the wheels from the CO vert completed I wanted to see what they looked like on the RF. I think they look BAD@$$!!!!
(NOTE: These wheels are NOT going on this RF. It was just mocked up for fun)

 

[Black Gold 380R]

Okay all,

Got some work done last night.

Finishing up the RF coupe. Still needs detail work (i.e. emblems), wheels/suspension set up, exhaust and final polish.

Okay, this one has powered by SVT coils covers (with SVT in RF) and simulated TVS with matte black valve covers. It also has a white shifter ball.

These ARE the wheels going on this car.
(NOTE: The body is just sitting on top of the wheels for mock up purposes. The suspension has NOT been set up yet).

 

[Black Gold 380R]

Okay,

Here is the first finished CO Vert. This was meant to be completely stock except for personalized plate.
