Thanks for the kind comments, everyone! :)

I'm not sure if I should ask you here or on your blog, but about how much is the ratio of thinner and the paint itself when you painted the wheels? I'm looking forward to buying one of those GTRs aswell but same as you I was unhappy that they didn't have the premium edition for the 1:18 series so I would want to paint them on my own aswell. I hope you can see this and I'll be waiting for your reply!

Thanks!

@mynameisthepass Hi! Sorry for the late reply. I used the paint straight off the bottles (Tamiya black, Tamiya gunmetal) without mixing, finished with a coat of Tamiya Clear. All acrylic paints. Hope this helps! :)

@TheoDR Ahh Thanks! I thought you'd never reply so I was just thinking of not mixing anything. But I still haven't started buying the paint and car for this. lol

[TheoDR]

@mynameisthepass Most welcome! Haha, icic! The new Spec V model is out though! ;)

Really good pictures. The repainted ones turned out very nice. Did you have to paint the wheels several times if I may ask?

[TheoDR]

@gunnerkylling Hi! Yup, had to paint them quite a few times, especially when the finish wasn't as nice as I'd like.

Hey can you please tell me where did you buy the wheel paint? please??

@gec2007 I can't believe you just called the Nissan GT-R a hot wheel?! They are machines. You have disgraced this beast of a car...SMH

@TheoDR It is? Wow I guess I'll wait for that to come out and see which one to get! Thanks for the info!
