That's good idea. I you are going to paint it, be sure to check the other posts about painting. There are som good tips in there. Whatever you do, don't use regular Testor's model paint, your car will turn out like crap. I should know, I tried it. Use Lexsan(i think) paints. Good luck, and keep us updated with pics.
