    Nice job! Looks really nice.

    I think I am going to have to pick up a red one to go with my TDF.

    Wow when you make a person think that that's a real car then you're good!

    Whoa, had this thread open, forgot, came back to it and without reading the title I thought the FXX was real for second when I saw the first 2 pics. Top work!

    Thanks, Tad!
    Painting rings to red wasn't as difficult as I expected :) I pulled the wheels off the model and I took down the tires (I wasn't able to take off the front brake discs from the rims, so I didn't paint the holes in the discs). I painted the whole rims in black with a paintbrush and, after getting the colour dry, I carefully made the rings with the paintbrush too. That's all :)
