This.

I've got a buddy who's big into model building repainting one Magnetic to duplicate my car. It's even getting blacked out fender badge decals.

I can't wait to see it.

How long did it take you paint it?

Worked on it on and off for about a week to allow the paint and clear coat time to dry.

Is that actual Ruby Red paint or did you find a spray bomb equivalent?

They look awesome!

Duplocolor BFM0344 spray close enough.

Please post picture(s) when it's done.

Did you know Maisto already do a Magnetic Grey S550? Seems it's only available in the smaller 1/24 size at the moment though. I bought one on eBay a few weeks back

Posted my die casts in another thread awhile ago, might as well post here too.

The one on the left is a Maisto Special Edition 2015 Mustang at 1/18 scale and the one the right is a Nex Models 1965 Mustang at 1/18 scale...50 years of Stangs.

[MENTION=20201]Fordfan[/MENTION] - did you do anything to prep the original model? I have been contemplating doing the same thing to match my Ruby Red.

Here is my little "stable" (pun intended). Three of these are Maisto and the other is of course a Lego one.

Since I build lots of models, after complete disassembly I etched the red paint by dipping the metal red painted parts in SuperClean household cleaner for five minutes and then throughly washed with soap and water then wiped it down with silicon remover (Pre-Kleano) from R-M.
Then masked the 5.0 decals.to protect them.
After painting and clear coating I repainted black areas on mirrors and side skirts.
I could have just scuffed the original paint instead of etching in my dip tank but since I already have it.....
HTH.

One thing about Maisto brand- I'm not satisfy with the details of their model cars. I recently sold most of my Maisto 1:18 model cars. I just keep the Auto Art, kyosho, Norev.

Looking at the pics of it, I'd agree - I'll pass. I've had great luck with scale and detail quality from Supercar collectibles - just wish they had more colors. http://www.supercar1.com/catalog/in...ucts_id=7085&zenid=sfm7n7969tfssdspu98lhf4je5

Has any company made a model of the 2016 California Special yet?
thanks

haven't found one of the convertible yet - so I'm guessing it might take a while? there also seems to be only GTs... no 50th AP or Ecoboost (?)...
