Painted PT Body

[samcarroll]

I have a PT Cruiser so i wanted to match my R/C

Heres some shots of during...

4 coats candy blue, 2 coats silver, one coat black and a pic of my actual car to show you how it matches.

heres the rims i bought to match mine as well!

My car!

Yup, I'd say that matches pretty darn well. Even the wheels. Good job.

Looks like a match... You may even be able to save a peice from the scrap to make that rear spoiler..

Awesome! I love pt cruisers. Someday I plan to get one. (As soon as I outgrow the toys I have to pull around with the truck) Very cool. I also wanna see it mounted up, maybe by the pt!

 

[Buggyracer28]

Wow! those look identical! Nice job!

I'm going to cut it tonight and my car has gone under surgury for a bit but as soon as i finish putting it back together ill get a shot next to eachother!

updated pics...not fully done...does anyone have an idea that will help me get rid of the small frays on the sides where i sanded?

I would trim a little bit more. Are you using a dremel? You want the holes a little bigger because when you hit something, the body will flex and hit your tires and will slice them or make a line in them. Just a little bit. I just pick off the extra sanded lexan.

Nice match Sam. Wheels are awsome too. A pretty close match all the way around.

Use a sanding drum on a dremel to clean up your edges.

Nice ride !! i nee to make a mini ride of this. Dark pic ,but one sweet ride.

Yeah theres the lines on the fenderwells where ya wanna sand up to. Its thicker up there as well, so it should smooth out nicely with a dremel. Looks sweet!

 

[c3racing0082]

Got decals with that ?

 

[samcarroll]

this is just my show body since i show my PT at car shows i thought it would be cool to just have something to put on the back with the hatch open. So i wont technically need it to be "ground worthy"

but i used a dremel with with the sand barrell to get the edges how the are now.

Yes, i just havent had time to put the decals on yet.
