Ah, Lance!
Thanks for that tip.
By the way, how would you say I should go about painting the grill black?
And does a black hood look good on GT-R that looks standard otherwise?<---opinion.

it's actually easy to paint the grill of the GT-R black 'coz Tamiya included it's masking for it.. yes, there is a pre-cut mask for the GT-R's grill but it has to be painted first before everything else..

with regards to painting the hood black, it's really up to you..
i had a GT-R too with the same color as Ryan's but it was full metallic red..
when i got bored with it, i covered the hood with matte black sticker and put tribal decals on it's side..

-mainly tamiya.. parma and pactra

sorry mods, OT.. hehehe..

Lance, I've scanned the box, and i can't find any masks for the grill. There are stickers for it, but no masks =/
How much do PS paints cost in Dubai?

about 25-28-58 roughly the prices at T&U

Abdul, the masks are usually in a packet with the other decals. It is a yellow page with the window masks on it.....I believe that bodyset has the 'smoked' window decal so their should be window masks as well....

the r35 doesnt come with masks for the grill. . . . we did it manually with eathan's shell

huh?!

when i got my GT-R, it was with a TT-01E kit as well..
i'm really sure that i've used the supplied masking for the grill..

anyways, you can try this..

after you apply the masking for the windows, head and tail lights, don't throw the remaining parts of the masking supplied..
cut them into strips and use them to mask the grill. then, just cover the other parts with a decent masking tape..
reason: the supplied masking works really great.. it really defines the edges..

my apologies ryan, your thread has now become a tutorial.. lol!

Umm, right now I don't have the kit, when it comes back, I'll check for masks.
Thanks for all the help.

usually maskings for the grilles are not included.. they only provide them for the windows and lights.. but you can always use the supplied sticker for the grilles.. easier than to mask it with tape manually clown

Yeah, but unless I want to make the red darker on my GT-R, I will have to mask everything on the car except the grill = EXTREMELY LONG PROCESS.

But If I want to make the red dark, I can make a mask on the grill and paint everything red, then remove the mask and paint the entire thing black.

What's a better GT-R dark ps-15 or normal ps-15. Black backing = dark, no backing = normal blum3
