GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

I had some time today (schools out for the summer) so I made my Vibe a friend.

nice re-paint of the Vibe GT-R die cast

seems everyones doing this now..lol

Yeah, I have had mine painted for the past couple months, but I have been too lazy to put it back together untill now.

thats cool..did u take EVERYTHING out..i noticed the reverse lights arent in..did you take out the headlights/taillights and glass and used hot glue to put them back in??..something i should have done...would have made it easier and look better

The reverse lights are there, they just sort of disappear in the silver. But yeah, I took everything apart, and then glued it back together.

smart thing to do..wish i did that instead of taping the crap out of it..the tape peeled some of the paint off..so i may re-do it or just say f-it..it's just a model so i dont really care..also what kinda paint did you use..and did u sand it? i was lazy with the whole thing..didnt sand it and just used the paint i got from doing my engine cover..plastic high-temp paint that was custom made for it..

I went to a model shop and picked up some metallic silver model paint. I sanded the model before I painted it just to give the new paint a better surface to grab on to. Then I gave it a few coats of clear when all was said and done. There are a few areas that could have came out better, but like you said, it is just a model.

ha! nice andrew!!!gotta try to do that to my yellow gt-r!

I have a couple Silver Vibe GT models already. So no need to paint mine. However, I did want to paint one of them Fusion ORange.

I'm guessing you can't buy those anywhere now huh? I want one!

i can get them at my work..they're like $40 or something

or look on ebay, or go do a search on the web for Yat Ming.or go here: http://www.yatming.com/index.aspxill be painting mine soon as well i hate the ricer graphics and the envy green i have.

Are these like Hot-Wheels size die-casts, or a lil bigger? I see on that Yat Ming site it says they are 1:24, not quite sure on how big they would be.

I see on that Yat Ming site it says they are 1:24, not quite sure on how big they would be.The GT-R pictured above is 1:18 scale, I don't remember who makes that one.Then Yat Ming makes the 1:24 scale model of Vibe GT and is about 7" longI have a shot of mine along with some other 1:18 scale Transformers/cars

Nice Alternators/Binaltechs.

very cute

yat Ming also does the 1:18 GT-R under the road series 1:18 and on the thrid or fourth page.

no they only came in the yellow or the salsa..no other colors

Quote, originally posted by WaveAction »no they only came in the yellow or the salsa..no other colorsThe 1:24 GT scale models came in several colors, and the 1:18 scale GT-R came in yellow and salsa. Which begs the question, was there ever a full scale yellow GT-R?

no i dont think there was a yellow GT-R..only the salsa color..and when i ment the "yellow or salsa..no other colors" comment was about the GT-R that i can get..
