I really ike this new 240Z.
They must be coming about 10 to a case because it has taken no time at all to acquire over 300 of them.
The Pearl Yellow one has a one piece wrap over the hood and fenders with a portion of the same decal turned upside down to fill in the lower section of the front grille.
The same decal compliments the roof.
The white one has the same graphic doctored up in PhotoShop but I left the grille untouched.
The black panel on the rear is actually very easy to paint by hand being that it is highly defined and the paint flows easily into the recessed areas.
There is a brand new Diecast Collectors group in Houston, Texas and the surrounding area called "Space City Diecast Collectors" and I think this casting will be a good choice to start it off with.
Both cars, after cleaning out the window openings and filing and sanding, are shot with Adhesion Promoter, Shimrin White basecoat, then 2 coats of SnowWhite Pearl and Bright Yellow respectively.
They're then topped off with HOK clearcoat with Brilliant Gold Pearl powder on the White one and Yellow Pearl powder on the yellow one.
The wheels are trimmed with Center Caps in trying to avoid wheelswaps but still arrive at an acceptable wheel.
