  6. paint is metalic gun metal black but it was left over from when i painted the calibers on my silverado ss (real truck) so it has ceramic in it and was very heavy and thick i wouldnt recommend it i just used light coats and it came out great it was like 15 bucks a can though cause it was special made for high heat brakes it was just what i had laying in the garage at the time i got the model lol i want to find some rims for this thing real bad but dont have the first clue where to buy them other than ebay where i got the resin hood and its kind hard not knowing if they will fit i really want to get some kind of drag radial for the back cause the tires on it now i hate i mean they are old style cragers but without any detail and the tire just looks cheap to me lol thats my next hunt for this along with some kind of tach and gauges if i can find them somewhere im getting to the point where i know im going to have to start trying to make some parts but like i said this is my second model and i am still gathering working materials paint brushs ect. its alot of fun though im hooked i love cars and with drag racing such an expensive hobby this is great for me right now
