I like it!  I dig the replica rust.  Would like to now how he did it.  Some of the pictures look like the rust could have some texture- I wonder if it is similar to real rust texture.

imagination truly has no boundaries.  kudos to the man w/ the vision.

I was a faux finisher/decorative artist before I retired and used different techniques to replicate rust and patina finishes. The quick and easy way was to use Modern Masters metal effects paints and activators:

In 2018, I attended Exotics on Cannery Row during Car Week at Monterey.  There were a number of new exotic cars: Mclarens, Lamborghinis, etc all wrapped in racing livery.  That I didn't mind.  But what I thought was silly was that the wrap included scratches, dirt and scuffs, to make the car appear as though it has had a hard life on the track.  When we all know that has has never come close to the track.  

It seemed rather disingenuous.

@sherco_chris, I wouldn't say that about your car.  The finish you provided on your speedster seems to keep with a weathered appearance one could have on a real speedster or plastic speedster.  

The ebay speedster, IMHO, ranks up there with the disingenuous "race cars" I found at the exotic show.

That said, we are lucky to have a big tent here.  I mean we all drive replicas.  Perhaps there's a level of insincerity there anyway.
