Skyline...Bayside Blue...

[CtrlAltDel]

Yep...I'm going for the original skyline blue color on my car.

I've talked to my auto paint guy, and he can get me a can of spray of the color and some clear coat.

Anyone used car paint on these yet?

I was thinking about

400 grit sand paper lightly on the car
primer
few coats of paint
few coats of clear

thoughts/comments?

The sparkles are too big in real auto paint... thats why there is model paint... if you do paint it paint it only blue without the flecks

I would choose "testors" spray paint. But I have that tayima spray paint (bad company ;)) is very good.

you dont need to sand the car.

im painting my skyline "mica blue" its made my tayima, Ive heard nothing but bad things from people using testors.
