get yourself some alloy/chrome tubing and make some sleeves for the exhaust tips, they look mint!

you can get proper stuff from model shops about £6 a tin (tiny tin) so use sparingly as theres's just enuff in em to do a body shell, i've got a elise shell to go on my tamiya which i think i'm just gonna use std car paint, can't see it doin any harm. why not get a cheap shell off ebay save wrecking the new one?
the matt black i did my evo shell in is hard-hat industrial coating, and if anyones remotely interested the rear spoiler was my numberplate off the bike

i think years ago it may well have done mate but i've alway used the stuff without any problems.i think this day and age where you can't have a dump without some health and safety law butting in the chemicals in paints used today only cause problems if you inhale it.
