Border around the windows
 

Most of the cars here have a border (or 'frame') painted around the window - many of them chrome by the looks of it. How do you do that? Is it fairly easy as I think it looks good?

Basically, the whole shell is masked in liquid mask. then the designs are cut out by hand including the window surrounds, then sprayed with a chrome paint. I use custom colour, some use alclad or spaz-stix chrome, all are just as good as each other.

And there is my new body

Finally Finished building it! :thumbsup: Just got the electrics to do now!

You put dirty wheels on it fella :woot: Looks very nice though mate :thumbsup: I've almost built my 2010spec, plain old white shell for now though. Did you find that the diff out drive bearings were very tight on the plasic housing side ?

Only wheels i had ready'd up :). A little Tight, but putting this down to all being new, would imagine the car neeeds a few battery packs ran though it before it all frees up.

Here is my new R kit.
It's currently @ Mbmodels if anyone would like to have a look at a R kit before they purchase ?

Hey Tel, guilty as charged!! ;) hope ya don't mind fella, I gave you some props when I originally posted the shell in my thread - thinks it's somewhere on the 1st page... Keep up the good work mate & hope you see this in the highest form of flattery :)
