Jada xB custom paint
 
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...E:B:EF:US:1123

this is not my aution, its just too hot not to share.

althow this did get me thinking.
my brother does alot of flame work with paint from House of Colors. he has all the colors. i told him that he would have a big maket if he would do something like this or better yet offer to do it on order, you know like, he could make one just how you like it. i also think it would be better on the bigger scale instead of the little 1/64.

so what do you think.
anyone be interested in something like this?

I like it! If it wasn't too much and depending on the paint job, I might buy me one... :lalala:

see thats kinda what im talking about, does any toy compainy make the real RS 4 color?

well im sure my brother could.

how cool would it be to have a 1/24 xB that has the same paint as your real one.

mine is easy because its just white, but some people have 2 tone or other special grafics that you just can't buy anywere.

i don't know what he would need as far as $. i think the 1/24 xB is like $12 new and i know the House of Colors paint is very expencive and it does take some time to paint.

i think what would work best is if he painted a few just to show what he can do and then i just post them, and it be a first come first serve type thing.



give me a resonable price someone would be willing to pay.

I dont like the Jada, it reminds me of Lisa Frank!

btw, nice engine cover

keg79 11-29-2007 01:44 AM

it looks cool

daneisthegreatest 11-29-2007 02:08 AM

your brother does a better job than the person that did that Jada...those flames look like a 4 year old did them...i am not a fan...but i am a fan if your engine cover :)

swartzautoman 11-29-2007 02:36 AM

thats why i posted pics of the engine cover.
my brother is good at what he does.

D_M_A_N 11-29-2007 03:46 AM

That looks a little wack!
The engine cover looks good tho'

hotweelz4me 11-29-2007 04:23 AM

You should definately talk to your brother about doing some custom models. He could produce his own ideas and take custom orders from people. If you have more pics of your brothers skills post em up.

Off topic: I see your in Columbia, MO. I grew up in MO and have drove down the Columbia and Jefferson City many times. I still have some friends going to school in Columbia

that's cool. Is it remote control?

keg79 11-30-2007 11:18 PM

Now that's cool..........mad props Ted!!

TerribleTed 12-01-2007 12:28 AM

Yes it is remote control. Has forward and reverse 1 speed. Turn signals , head , and tail lamps work. Has annoying noise maker and speaker (I cut the wire to the speaker) that makes horn ,motor (has a second gear switch that makes it sound faster when selected)., and braking sounds. Can also be hooked up to an Ipod for play thru the little speaker. It was a Jada Toys item. I paid like $70 for it through amazon.com after seeing it here and there for $85-120.

I have a model painted to match my RS4. I had the body shop spray it for me when I was getting my car repaired, it looks pretty cool sitting side by side. They didn't even charge me to do it.

swartzautoman 12-02-2007 02:04 AM

can we see a pic of it the RS4 model?
