Thx!

Yeah, they took of a lot of space in my garage. My plan was to do this when I'd finally won my 1st national title, then throw them all in the bin... it took a while longer then first expected

I really like putting old vintage cars on stereoids a bit Have you guys seen Tanatwo's work? (japanese)

Very happy with the B.A.R. Honda cars, currently I'm working on this project (runner):

Good'ol B44
B-Max4 II cab forward shell, love the lines on this one, lots of cools vents
Vodafone McLaren 2012 stickers & paint (from revolutionshop_fr on ebay)
And of course a Futaba 3VCS with McLaren skin to go (customgraphics / DMS)

Would be very cool with chrome all over, but I'll go for the silver. The chrome has a tendency to peel off over time (and lots of impacts)... I'll limit the chrome to the window lines only, and try to back with white in stead of black this time. Blitzboy told me that would be better. I'll also try cleaning as a pre-prep with blue Jif only, not alcohol as I've been doing for a long time.

Any other tips for making chrome stick better? I use the Spaztix aerosol for this.
