Modell Car 1 /18 repainting

Ever seen a Black 850csi modell in 1 / 18 ?????
Well I have not and have been looking for a long time in Ebay.

Yellow there you will find a lot and cheap

So did buy a yellow one and decided to paint it black.
Started first trying to mask it for painting but found out early that it would not be easy and probably a poor end result.

Then hove about dismanteling it??? Easy a lots of screws some melted in place plastic parts, just to cut loose with a scalpel.
In the end all metal parts out and ready for painting.

Before dismanteling.




Painted parts.




Ready for mounting



Rear light installed and windows



Hood , front lights , grill installed




More parts beeing paintet , including the rims that will be chrome.
Rest to be done tomorrow i think

Rim's spayed with chrome paint , and interior spayed black.

A little boring perhaps with Black / Black but it's supposed to be a model of my own car,
For any with Indiviual car's you would have fun creating your own model.

Just a few tips, check if spray paint react with original paint on a small piece like headlight bucket.
And as I discovered paint did react where I sanded one part first.



Engine and all parts can be removed before spraying

Finished and ready to put with the others in my garage

Cool!
Looks great and is well done.

I'd like to have one like yours from my 850, but it will not that easy to get the right colors only for the model.

There are places that mix your colour and put it on spray can's
It looks nice now together with the other 850 models I have in my garage
