Silver as a barrier. Works 100% for me.
The color molded kits were for mass merchandisers like chain craft stores. Not for fringe like us.

Customer service is more a factor than big chain stores or the internet.
My local hobby shop, 2.5 hours away, thrives because they have people that know what they sell and always ask if they can help. He does have decent prices and that helps......but people with sales skills are vital.

First off....very nice work!!! And I too agree....this kit, while not state of the art we expect today, it is far from the dog some claimed.
I built my Booth car the week the kit came out.

I was able to tuck the wheels and tires under the body by shortening the axle stubs on the wheels backs and a very slight trim of the rear axle. Up front I just tucked them in as there is no real front suspension. A cool little kit that I want to build more versions. The car did well in the IMSA Kelly Girl series and some famous modified drivers used Gremlin bodies too.

Half way between box stock and scratchbuilding.....I define it as parts swapping with heavy mods possible.
