i keep coming back to this one.

The stance, the paint, the craftsmanship...this is one beautiful creation!

I was at Micheal's this evening looking for something else and I thought of this question.

I did find some 7mm round mirrored discs that might work as reflectors....I believe that there was a smooth style and a faceted style

nice little tip.

 

food for thought though...

go to your local auto body supply and purchase pint paint cans...they are relatively inexpensive and they are made for paint

 

or Michael's and Hobby Lobby both carry 2oz and 4oz solvent proof plastic bottles with a "dispenser" cap. They are $2.99 for 3 of them, but with a 40% off 2 item coupon, they aren't too bad.

thanks for the tips guys. I'll try something today and post results.

 

Skip,

It's the Jagermeister Alfa and the instructions actually call for the script to be done in chrome silver while the valve cover is done in flat aluminum. I figured change it up a bit.  I'm building the car as a challenge between myself and a few other friends to see if we can build a model box stock (no detail parts added).  I thought dark green would be a nice touch as I'm probably not painting the car orange like the box.
