Nelly Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Was wondering if anybody has built this model and if so what color/brand of GOLD did you use. The original kit comes with a gold plated body and a plain body. Due to some imperfections on the gold plated body, I want to do my own. Like I said just looking for some recommendations. As always, thank you in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randman Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 I don't remember how reflective (i.e. mirror like finish) the gold was on the real car. You may look into the Green Stuff World line. Their chrome metal can achieve a near mirror like finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelly Posted April 4 Author Share Posted April 4 Thank you Randy - I will definitely look into your suggestion. It is a very shiny finish - as you put it, very mirror like. Some metallic paints I have seen are just not shiny enough if that makes sense. Again thank you for the suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigryan18 Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Either Testors or Tamiya gold should work fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r60man Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 They do sell gold Bare Metal Foil, I have had much better results with large foil projects than smaller ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THarrison351 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 (edited) Are you wanting to replicate the real car? The car was painted gold. DW had a Monte Carlo that was wrapped in reflective Mylar for one race in 1997. NASCAR said never again after that. There were several diecasts released as well. I have the RC painted version. They also did a couple of gold plated versions. I don't have these. I do have the plated model like yours, but I don't plan to build it.
