You did a great job I love it. I have always liked the CG and any thing that goes with them, Between this and the CG hiss from earlier today they have some pretty cool rides now.

Quick question. Getting ready to do my first custom, a CG vehicle as well. What color did use you use for the base? I want to match it as closely to CG colors aas possible.

hey man when you taped them wheels off to spray the rims, how did you do it? cus i see some major leaks! what kind of tape? wider tape is hard to make a circle! it can be done i have done it! but it sucks an very time consumin'! one way you could've done wit' some wider tape, is cover the rim but as you are bout to put the tape to the rim make sure you tuck it in that crease real good wit ya finger nail, do the same all over the rim , till the tape is completely tucked no air pockets round where the rin an tire meet! then take a thin blade an cut along the rim , pull off that center pce of tape you jus' cut! an another way is to get real real thin tape for like auto body , you can do any curve wit this stuff an then over wrap that wit wider tape to cover the rest of the tire! to me , since i paint for a livin, an know bout tape an what not! it looks like you used blue tape like 2 inch wide an tried to cover the tire an as you were tapin out the rim it like couldnt make the turn, an bunched up an left a air pocket. an blue tape yellow green whatever color they got out now purple even they all lift! an finger prints will stop adhesion, so clean wit some rubbin alc an since its plastic clean plastic an tape will bond pretty well. jus some tips man, cus i see the paint on the tire an i know how to avoid it! it loooks great though man how did you do them bullet holes are they decal? or paint, an the weathering looks sweet man nice job!

Nice job! I think Hasbro should take a look at this one for an official release.

I got the red Krylon Fusion. It was almost a perfect red and it bonds to plastic and dries in 10-15 minutes. It's wonderful. Also, not a harsh fume either.
