This is my Kyosho Optima Pro, I have painted all the pin striping, and now have OT-66 tyres on it. This is one of the best looking RC cars ever, in my opinion !
This is great. Could you email me with the color you used on this. as i am getting ready to paint one myself. Aso what colors did you use on your boxart optima? thanks, mark (slimmy)
Hi, I have no idea what the proper colours are, but I used a combo of Tamiya PS Spray paints and Tamiya PC paint. This Pro was done with PS-7 transparent orange backed with PS-12 silver. This gives a great metallic orange effect. The panels are black with gold pin stripping. The optima was PC-1 white, PC-5 Black, PC-3 Blue and a mix of PC-2 and PC-6 yellow to make the orange panels.
This is a different car. The pro has quite a different radio, battery and suspension set up. I have had the aluminium chassis anodised gold if you look carefully. Thanks for your comments.

Is this also a new one, or just another body! Great work also!
