Oh, vinyl job great idea. And after sticking spray clear on top of that, will look awesome. It is much simpler. How about digital printing of flames and sticking on car.

manishalive · 5th September 2010, 22:05

Ok Guys,

My painting is almost done. Yet to apply clear. The masking tape of bad quality has left a lot of nasty glue. Need to remove that once the paint is dried. Small tochup is also required.

For the Graphics, I drawed and cut the flame graphic on pafer and then trasfered on to vinyl (being sunday I got a local vinyl, which is coming off even after 2 coats of clear

.) Here are the pictures.

Cyrus43 · 5th September 2010, 22:49

Damn good Stuff there!!! Awesome!! Welldone indeed.

Hatchlover · 5th September 2010, 23:42

I recently bought a Tamiya Kit for Subaru Impreza , spent the weekend assembling it but just got the suspension only.
This is my first assembling job. Can you guys help me with following?
On the instructions they have mentioned some Cement to glue plastic parts. Where can i get thsi cement in India?
Which is a good tool set for such assembly jobs i can get locally?
I intend to get Tamiya tool set later.
Thanks in advance,
Naveen
