My girlfriend bought this for my 51st birthday and I had to build it.... before I could move on, ya know? It just about put itself together no sh!1! Never liked that grille so... paint it out. And the flat black hood..... I'm in a flat black phase... so sue me lol Paint is duplicolor brake caliper paint (grabber green)haha. Over duplicolor sandable grey primer. Quite striking, I've never shot that color (eyes open wide jaw drops, am I sure??) Hells Ya!!! 3 coats of duplicolor Acrylic Enamel Clear-- all rattlers-- right colour----- ready for polish and finish.
