LowRider

I found this bad boy at the LHS. The Bolink Legends of R/C 40' Coupe. Couldn't pass it up. It just looks like such a pimp ride.

I masked off the windows, some small portions of the hood, as the grill and side running boards.

Base coat was a thin layer of Pactra Purple Pearl backed heavily with Pactra Grape Pearl (which is darker). The effect was a sort of Iridescence between the two colors. After removing all but the window masks, I put down Pactra Indy Silver which backed the color, plus shown through portions of the hood and colored the running boards silver. I wanted to use a good coat of tint, so I first layed down the recommended Pactra White Opaque Covercoat (no link found) in two heavy coats. Without that, you run the risk of thinning (ruining) your other coats. After removing the window masks, I laid down a few thin coats of Pactra Window Tint.

Again I used the Lowered Mounts.

I also purchased some RPM Chrome Claws, and Road Rage II tires to get that pimped out lowrider look. In addition to that I added Titanium Linkages, and a ton of colored stuff.

This was also about the time that I upgraded to Aluminum Casterblocks.

This body was featured in the LowRider video. It is semi-retired now. I don't want to bust it up, because it looks so nice. I have completely disassembled the truck that's shown below as well. The street tires just didn't really work out as I had hoped. Not enough traction for my likes. Back to the Masher 2000s.
