What kind of Candy red? I have a bottle of Spazstix Hard anodised Candy red, back it with chrome and it'll look uber-bling!

I use tamiya trans red backed with gold.. works well and looks great in the sunshine.

Motor was white plastic, gun metal and a metalic copper was used to get that effect

The bottom color is lame flake backed with white.. makes it a metalic white, gives it a deep white color and doen't look flat like white normally does.

snapps to the motor mate .

Yeah cant see in the pix properly but was worried it was plain white as it would have looked bland

Nice one! Should have done chrome window trims, and between the red/white!!

The engine looks painted, i've done similar on F1 cars.
