There's nothing like a well done orange paint job. Do you recall what colors you used?

The car is absolutly stunning.

Thank you jeffpez

The colors I used are from the palette of HOUSE OF COLOR urethane candies.

Silver metalflake base coat, topped with Aztec Gold and Tangerine, topped with 5 coats of urethane clear and then rubbed out.

Out of nearly 200 builds, one of my all-time favorites.

Way beyond my budget !!!

That's the reason we all build models, I can have 200 models in my house, instead of just one 1 to 1 in my garage.

That venue of car building is not my thing but I'm also not denying the absolutely beautiful work done. And it looks like it's speeding just sitting there. Stunning paint job !
