Damn!! I wonder what he got paid for that? What a wasted marketing gimmick seeing as he's already ditched the car!

I briefly considered how hard it might be to paint the wheels Satin Platinum but figure I'll just ruin it.

I also considered swapping the wheels over from the Shmee150 one. Then I realized that one's a 1:43 model and is for sale on his website.

I'm betting he had them made to sell himself. It doesn't seem to be that hard. The local dealers here have GT3 Cup cars made with their dealership race team livery on them.

Painting the model isn't that hard, just an airbrush. The difficulty is getting the correct shade.
