Not too long ago a friend of mine gave me the transformer alternator called windcharger, which is of course a S2000. i thought it was pretty neat and put it on display in car mode. then one day i woke up and thought it would be a neat idea to repaint the figure into mimicing that of my own car, so i bought a 2nd one for spare parts, and picked up soem white paint for the car. i ended up finding an exact paint match for my real wheels at walmart (gun metal metallic) so i picked that up as well. and so the process begins.

heres some stock photos of the figure itself




bag of death. i am not looking foward to putting it back together.


whatever i couldnt take apart i tapped off heavily to prevent overspray. all prepped!



the transformation begins


ready to do the wheels tomorrow!



I was EXTREMELY dissappointed with how the paint stuck to the hardtop so i didnt take pics. i'll have to strip it and i think i may just repaint it black.
i'll post pics as i make more progress. stay tuned
