Looks real good!
What paints did you use for white/day glo M@r1b0r0 chevron's?
also what chrome did you use for the suspension ?

The chrome is Dupli-color Universal Chrome (Autozone), three coats worth, sand the faux carbon fiiber smooth, light coat, sand, main coat. sand, light coat. The chevrons are Rustoleum engine enamel (Home Depot,), also three coats and Pledge floor finish. It's a bit of a pain and takes a lot of tape, but I think the results look pretty close.

Michael doesnt make PM/Marlb0r0 decals, I am guessing these particular decals were sourced from patto's place ?

The tire decals are from Indycals (which if you didn't know are fantastic). The chassis decals are homemade. A google search for images and a lot of playing around in photshop/paint and there you go. I was aided by the fact that virtually all the decals are white on black. The testors decal paper is not bad to work with, but if you use it, make sure to put at least two coats of the bonding spray on, otherwise the ink will run when you go to put it on.
