[MOC] Lego Speed Champions Garage, Spray Painting the Nissan GT-R

[MTBingNinja]

Had a lot of fun spray painting the Nissan GT-R in my Speed Champions diorama garage.  I know the purists are screaming right now but couldn't resist.  Enjoyed the process right from the begging, from taping off the windows and other body parts right down to painting the paint cans.  Primed the GT-R a bit before spraying down the Testors enamel metallic purple.  I taped of the car more not to get too much overspray, wanted to make it look like he was applying paint from left to right and one panel at a time.  Really pleased with the way it came out, in hindsight I wouldn't a thing but welcome everyone's feedback.

Nah they don't really care what other people do with Lego, its what they will or won't do with their own pieces.

Cool MOC, again, but shouldn't they paint in a booth or at least cover the other cars; that place is going to be an over-spray mess and clay bar nightmare. Spray on the ground below the car would add realism if its about that.

I agree.  Thought of adding a spray booth when I first setup the garage but ran out of room. Thought of spraying some of the tiles on the floor but thought the car was high enough where he wouldn’t have gotten some paint on the floor.  Thought of spraying a tile too where the empty can of spray paint lies.

Cool idea! I've seen your garage before, and I think it's a great display! The spray painting is fun. You've used a real spray paint, I think (looking closely at the pictures). Am I right?

Thanks!   Real spray paint, Testors enamel metallic purple.   Laid down a tiny bit of primer beforehand.  
 

...maybe I’ll “spill” some paint on the floor and have some footsteps traces from the guy stepping in the paint 🤣
