Jack, are you using Alclad II paint for these parts?
I don't have a batmobile, but I have a remote R2-D2

Nope, but thanks for the link to it. Looks like some pretty cool stuff. I'll be painting the parts tomorrow. I hope it all works out.

I think Nitro is sending you the one he has. The real one. You wouldn'd be happy with one made from wood and a stove liner?

That sounds right for my rear wheels but I'll have to double-check the backspacing. I do know that I could have off set them out another inch and it would have looked better. Wheel spacers, that's why I have the 3" lug nut studs installed on the rear.
The paint is actually a Candy Black. Or a clear with black tint added. It takes a ton of coats to get it to that color but looks great in person. I would have probably gone darker but I ran out of the tint. Probably shouldn't have used it on the side mechanic but I was testing out the idea. I also tried a Gold and a Copper base. Didn't care for it. Now if you want it to look even better go with the ALSA MirraChrome with the black clear over it. Probably sent you back around $400 but would look just like Dave's 1/18th Batmobile.
I'll probably paint the gas caps, exhaust tips, and rear turbine the same way I did the front.
