    Summer Mode

    Summer is almost here! Coilovers fitted, summer wheels on, tires painted. I'm ready, are you?

    Yeah it took me just over an hour to paint it. I used Testor model paint and a fine paintbrush, sanded down the edges of the lettering once the paint was dry, and used a small flathead screwdriver to scrape off the excess/messy parts.

    The paint actually started peeling off as soon as I started driving, so I suggest maybe a different paint type (Testor is enamel), or give it more drying time and put a layer of varnish over it. I really like the effect though, definitely makes the car stand out more.
