The MCW prices seem kinda steep considering you only get 1 oz of paint. I ended up ordering a 12 oz can of spray from Classic and figured I'd decant and airbrush. I'll probably do the same with the verdoro green. That should be easy to get from my local paint guys. Thanks though for all the suggestions. Now I need to update the Monogram interior to represent a '68.
Wondering if anyone knows of a source for paint that replicates the Ivy Gold interiors on mid '60's Pontiac GTO's. I'd like to replicate the old '68 GTO I had way back in the day that was painted Verdoro green with an Ivy Gold interior. MCW carries the verdoro green but can't find a good match for the Ivy color. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Don
Great job Tommy on a tough kit. This one has the same headlight issues as their '70 GTO kit. You did an excellent job cleaning them up and giving them depth.
Thanks for the info Ron. Kinda what I was afraid of. If I can lay my hands on an extra headlight/grill piece, I may try my hand at drilling/grinding out the buckets. Not sure how to polish everything out afterwards to get it chromed....
I feel your pain. I keep a set of ViseGrips on the bench to open stubborn MM paint jars. Just be careful not to apply too much pressure or you'll rip the lid right off the bottle!
Not my daily drivers but in the garage still and taken to work occasionally. Heavily shown during the summer.

And my '70 Pontiac GTO. Numbers matching PHS documented.
I love these cars.
So I've done a search on the interweb to see if any of the aftermarket folks have done correct headlight buckets for the MPC '70 GTO kit. No luck with my searches. Is anyone aware of such a product? The headlights that come in the kit are closer to the '71-72 headlights where the lens sits flush with the front of the bucket. The '70 lights sat much deeper in the buckets. I'm trying to build a replica of the 1:1 '70 goat I have in my garage and the headlight buckets that come in the kit just don't look right. Don
