From the Build Thread on Mazdas247:

Quote:
After working on a friends custom beach cruiser bike I decided to attempt to repaint the car with rattle can Graffiti paint. I know what you're thinking, "WHY? WHY OH WHY?!!!" Look, I know that this isn't the correct way to paint a car, but I'm taking a more artistic approach. The color is All City Brand: Miami Blue Matte. It took me about 12 cans and only that many because I was dumb and started the project when the weather was wet and rainy and also when I started my painting style was all wrong when it came to doing the doors. After a friend gave me some spraying pointers I am happy to say that most people don't realize it is a rattle can paint job. The cans were $3.99 each so I'm into this paint job about $50-$60 with masking tape.

Any parts that were black have been cleaned and re-sprayed with black Plasti Dip. This stuff lays down awesome, dries even and was WAY MORE EXPENSIVE than people lead you to believe. $7.19 per can at Ace hardware and I used about 4.5 cans. So about 50% of the money that went into the 12 cans of color.

LOL.

If i thought i could mask Plastidip reliably, i'd do the Mazdaspeed Charge Le Mans paintjob on the Astina. But Plastidip isn't that trustable (from personal experience).

I love my model cars! My room is literally full of them; Name a car and I've probably built it. I have an unopened ZENT Cremo Lexus SC430 (JGTC) sitting at home waiting to be built, bought it around 2 years ago and haven't built it yet, but keen to get it finished now!



Someone loves their 121's

It's like Itasha gone wrong (well, more wrong).

And whoever made that needs grammar lessons.
