Fool's Gold........BC Finally Paints A Supra!
 
1 Attachment(s)
I finally got around to painting a Supra. This one was done with rattle cans again, using four colors to give it a very subtle fade. I used Tamiya gold-light gunmetal-aluminum, and sprayed a little dark gunmetal over top all colors. Finished it off with Tamiya clear. All details like the headlights, tailights, and side markers were painted by hand.

Trust me when I say that the pics do not do this one justice. The lights and camera kinda wash out the definition of the different colors. You have to see this one in person to really appreciate it. By far my favorite ride in my stable.

Hope you like!

good job, i was thinking about doing a supra with similar paint, but a little bit brighter, with orange flakes that shine through, like the supra in 2fast2furious. by the way, how many xmods&mini z's do u own?

Ummm, are you trying to say I photo shoped mine?

In the pics it's pretty subtle. I think I would go with black wheels with silver lip all the way around though. I'm not big on seeing different colored wheels on the front and back, even if they do match the car.

(Sidenote, the Mugen NSX body has wheels that are different colored. If I bought that body, I'd have to paint the wheels all the same color, because it bugs me too much. :lol: )

Yeah, I will agrre with you on the different color wheels, I'm not a big fan either. I only did it here to help bring out the color change from front to rear. I like you idea, and may have to paint some new wheels.

lemans23 12-23-2003 09:57 PM

how would u get that idea? i just asked if u liked the cars new fade!

Oh ok. Sorry. I actually tried to paint one of my first Supras with the blue-green Kamelion Kolor before, but when I pulled the masking off, it pulled the paint off around the edges. I think it was due to having oils on my hands when handling the body.

I have painted a car that pink color, just not as a fade. It was a convertable Firebird Zip.
