Another super exotic that I wanted to do a simple custom of was the Hotwheels LB-Works Lamborghini Huracan Coupe.
A top of the line performer for Lamborghini, with an aggressive after market body kit from LB-works.
Wide fender flares are a halmark of LB-Works, and all their styling kits.
It started in basic white... but I felt a different color would suit the shape just as well.
So I disassembled the pieces as they came and stripped the car down to bare metal.
I quick base of black primer, followed up with a coat or two of some color-shift pigments I found a hobby store, and you get a red-blue color shifting Lamborghini.
The color-shift is obviously hard to photograph.. but I did my best.
I also got the first clear coat down (a light coat with the pigments so they don't "wash away" in the cear), and I was left with almost a semi-matte finish.
I kind of liked it... so I stayed with it.
A little time with some small brushes for the little details like headlights, tail-lights, and I think this one is about done.
The selection of premium cars has been lacking lately, and I didn't have any "real rider" rubber tires and wheels to add to this one... but I think these wheels fit the shape and performance look nicely.
A last trick that I picked up from my larger modeling tips... a white Gel Pen that I bought at a local art store. It looks just like a fine tipped ballpoint pen, but has white gel ink in it. Works great for picking out tiny details like the rivets on the fender flares.. and even tried a little lettering on the hood and rear spoiler.
Looking good
