Hey everyone, this is a stock 8ight body, however it is not for an 8ight. it was fitted to an OFNA Ultra Worlds II that was converted to electric. I've been wanting to use the Alclad chrome for a while, and this is my first time with the stuff. It works great, but as others have said, it needs at least 3-4 light coats (check for any underpainted spots by holding it up to the light). Then I backed it with Faskolor Black, the rest is pactra metallic green and basic yellow. I had some leftover Orion internal graphics so I designed the paint scheme around those. It's still drying so I don't want to put it on the car yet, but i'll snap a few more pics when its really ready to race.

pullinteef - the paintjob looks great! Nice work.

Next time, if you want really awesome chrome, use the Spazstix chrome, it makes the alclad look like dull silver.
