Can't help loving the martini theme.
1AM, finished taping and spraying it all in 1 evening.
Patience is a nice thing, for people who have it

That turned out really nice. Will that be going on the 4wd ultima?

Very impressive paint job. Not only great color combination but a lot of intricate detail at least that's what I would call it. Was it done with all tape or did you use liquid mask. Whatever, patience pays off in the end!

Thanks for the enthusiasm guys,

patience is a strange thing: I had just enough to tape it all up, but then couldn't wait for the next day to paint it, or the paint to fully dry inbetween colours even.
It was after midnight, but I went out on the apartment terrace, folded out some hard-board and rattled the cans. It's a wonder it came out well: there 's no light on the terrace other than from the window.

the lines are not all that straight or crisp, the blue is shining through the red in places, and the white shining through the blue in others, and there's some overspray, but it'll look great from the drivers stand, so that's all fine.

It is the same body I plan to use for the 4x4 utlima indeed, but this one goes on another car (round 3)

It looks good to me. BTW did you ever spill the beans and say what body this was?

I did, and I'll do it again for you: Tamiya baja champ
The car is discontinued, but the body can still be had: partnr 58221

No, I didn't buy a tamiya

It isn't ready yet, so no up-skirt pics for now,

It looks really gorgeous Ed, I would add a wing though...

I had no more patience to tape it up and paint it

Anyway I' ve moved it around the rear of the car to find a good spot, and it just didn't look right.

I'll try to add one on the4x4 ultima for comparison when that project gets moving again.
First need to get my dremel fixed I guess.
