Details first. I used Parma Faskolor paints. FasPearl Charcoal mixed with FasChrome, FasKolor Red, and FasBlack for the body, sprayed on with an old Testors airbrush. Sealed it with FasCoat, but I'm going to add another coat tomorrow. The wheels and spoiler are painted with rattlecan Rustoleum "Hard Hat" industrial bright red. I know it won't stick long, but I mainly wanted to see how it would look. I had to reverse the spoiler mounts to kick the front of it up, otherwise it pushed down on the bed.

The only decals are the headlights, taillights, and bowtie. The Mutilator was traced on from a printoff of the original logo, since the only way to get the decal is to buy another Mutilator.

The motor sits inside the cab, which is why I cut all of the front windows out. Until I can find a long glowplug heater, I'll have to start it with the body off.

The paint lines aren't perfect, I had some issued with the premask, but for my first time, I think it turned out pretty good.

Enough talk, here it is!

All that black with just enough red, looks great!
 
Looks badass! Black and red are the colors I like the most. One question did you think of painting some black over the red so that the sun wont shine through and it might make the red stand out a little better just wondering?

I considered it, but I didn't want to darken the red. I like the way it looks with the transparency.

If I can find the right car body for my Speed-NT, I'll probably get into a little more detail.
