I had a customer come to me to do a repaint of a diecast car he has. He owns a 1:1 scale version and wanted it to match the one he owns. Took almost 2 hours to figure out how the damn thing came apart, but once apart things went well Took it out to a buddies place to use his sand blaster to strip the paint that wasn't budging from the paint stripper I was initially using. Worked like a charm. Painted with Tamiya rattle cans of Bright Red, Light Ghost Gray, and several clear coats of TS-13 Gloss. Just thought I would share. Thanks for looking. "Q"

Looking good! Nice paintjob.

Could have been fun seeing the model next to the real car!

Thanks. I have a feeling the real car only sees sunny days. With all the snow we have here I doubt it will see the light of day for several more months. Thanks again for the kudos. "Q"
