There's my 56 Chevy, my 69 Superbee, and my 69 Charger. I used oil washes and drybrushing of metallic greys, and weathering powders to age and finish them.

I'll get some pics of the one Im building.

As for using enamels, I'd use acrylics or lacquers because they are far better.

This was done with Model Master lacquer Dark Bronze Met.

I gave up on enamel. The cure time was a joke. I could grow a full beard before it dried and it was still soft. The only enmael I have is the little bottles, for spray I use laquer that stuff goes on nice and thin and dries to touch in an hour.Enamel looks like a kitchen applience.
