Bought a real one, painted the toy
OK, so this is sort of odd for my first post here, but after spending a ton of time going through these forums I couldn't resist.
A couple of years ago my wife got me a PT Cruiser RC "toy", originally in a dark metallic green. The car is 11" long and about 4.5" high and the only manufacturers info I have is the "New Bright Industrial Co., Ltd. 2000" on the piece. It runs off a rechargable 6.0V battery pack with 4 AA's in the remote. The remote lets you handle the usual front/back and left/right stuff, plus three forward speeds, a horn, and a "lock" function which shuts of the "motor" and "locks" the car complete with a single beep of the horn. Sort of like locking your real car with the keyless remote. Anyway, I bought my first real PT Cruiser on 12.30.03, a Turbo Limited Edition Platinum Series as shown in my sig. I just couldn't resist painting the toy to match the real deal, right down to the chrome on the door handles, fuel filler door and grille. The paint was a typical hobbyist paint I picked up at a local hobby shop, but it's a pretty good match for the real cars Graphite Metallic paint (not that it looks it in these pix, but you believe me. Right?). Just thought I'd share.

Re: Bought a real one, painted the toy
Very cool looking. From the picture you took of it, it looks steel blue, my color. I've had a hard time finding any toys in my color. Have painted a couple myself so far. New Bright is well known for doing the PT in large scale and a variety of colors.
