This just came as an Idea when i found a nice casting of a Toyota Corolla
by Motormax. This casting can make a lot of custom Corollas like, a race car, police car and I ended up making it a taxi by one of the largest Philippine Taxi company.
The usual stripping of the original paint, a 2 tone white and green combination.
Masking was very tedious for me and it wasn't really that perfect, but i need to learn the secrets.
I know that painting with airbrush rather than a can of spray paint would give a better result.
produced some decals and fabricated the "taxi sign" on the roof and the "red taxi sign" in the dashboard. Rims came from a Tomica Limited Nissan 240 Fairlady.
