After several searching years, I finally found a TA01 touring.
here are ex owner picts
Last year, my Christmas gift was a TT01 with the M3 Schnitzer body.
So! I had the idea to build a vintage 58113 M3 Schnitzer.
Here is the body with its failed paint.

And after 98% of paint removed

The chassis should be at home today or tomorrow

Grrrrr rainy sunday. No possibility for the paint.
So I ended to dismantle the chassis. Only 2 pieces are dead.

After cleaning greasing and rebuilding.
The chassis looks better.

Tonight I had the possibility to paint the BMW.
Masked
And ended

I need now to search my spares like msc, aerial support main sprue and lower front gearbox cover. But I know where they are

Hi Stingray,
Sorry I don't think I can help with any spares but the body looks much better now!! Just want to ask what kind of paint you used, I don't recognize the can and I can't read the label ????

Hi Willy, I used this time luxens paint
That is a multipurpose paint wich is very smelly.
Dry in 24h. The old paint was a flat white Renault spray made for metal.
Thanks for spares. I have them I just have to take them back they are in my parents home in my caveman room.
The body has headlights too.

Hello again,
Thanks for the information. Not a brand of paint we have here but it gave me a good idea. There is a multi use brand called Krylon that I can get at my local hardware store. It is formulated for plastics and I have used it with good success in the past. I don't know why it never occurred to me to try it on a body shell before but it just did thanks to you! I will experiment and report back

Nice. I use standard paint because my shop is far and I haven't really time to go. More, if I don't go to shop, I am not tempted...
Big sprays are cheaper than TAMIYA (for basic colors).
