Hpi Supra

[Bodywerx]

O.K. just got my HPI Denso Supra, TE27's chrome 6mm offset and head/tail light buckets.

BUT I have no idea for the paint? I am doing a DRIFT car, so do I stick to the "Denso theme" I was thinking Silver & Metallic Red or Mettalic Orange

Yeah, that would be cool to keep the Denso theme... but I think it would be fun to go with totally different colors... something wild like a bright blue where the red is and bright yellow where the white is.

If that's too crazy, paint the lower red panel and the nose in a royal blue, then leave the rest the same.

I have decided on a Teal& White. Teal where the red is and my company "BODYWERX" where the DENSO stickers are.

I did a quick photochop and it looks pretty good.
Then I have to mount the lights.

Show us the Photochop?

This was a quick chop

Excellent... and it'll look even better with all the stickers in their original colors instead of "teal for red."

I didn't want to start a new supra thread, so just replying to this one. Nothing special here, just a HPI 200mm Supra I did recently. Still need to clean it up a bit, but here are a few shots anyway.

Even a simple red pinstripe between the green and red areas would make it standout more. Maybe a subtle carbon fiber look on the hood using silver and white so it's only visble at certain angles?

just my .02

Still at it huh C0NTENDER? Nice work as always.

calvin3, only every once in a while. I still have a stock of bodies that I have to eventually get rid of, so I might as well paint them first :)
