I kicked myself a few times for not getting a new Mountaineer body set for the mint chassis I had when I realised that the new Hilux bodies were not exactly the same as the original, but the Mounty chassis had languished too long so I thought I'd try one. Frankly, I prefer the extra detailing! I took the black off all the chrome and I am now toying with the idea of going for an MFU.
Painted in Fiat Broom yellow. Front Nerf mounts from Twinset, bars from B&Q. Rear bumper 'push fitted' on to original mounts. Hilux exhaust mount 'bent' to fit. Bare Metal foil on door handles and drip moulding. Chrome Toyota badge from Bruiserbuilder. Drivers head from jsourbeck.

I am doing the same with mine. Not got as far as you though - gives me some more motivation to get it complete. It looks mega!!

Nail polish remover, as discovered on TC, I think it has to be acetone free.
