I go to car shows and get ideas. When I find one I really like I take a bunch of pictures of it. Then i try and replicate it. If I don't have the kit then I try it on another kit.
Very Nice Color Combo! May have to go and get these colors next time I go to Hobby Lobby They had some on Clearance as well the other dayjust didn't buy any
Go to Hobby Lobby at Least once a week always take my 40% off coupon. Just got the David Staey kit this week. Have spots for new kits coming in. It is nice that they have been getting the newer releases in used to be all they had was the same old same old.
Well this started out as a Dream Build project on a email list that I am on. It was going to be Black and silver and while at a car show I Saw one done that way and I didn't like it. So out came the True blue pearl from House of Kolor To go with the slver; Have it polished out and will be doing n start putting it together.
I have this color from black gold and it just says to thin iy 100% with a med temp lacquer thinner . So you must have Kustom kolors paint I have used a medium temp lacquer thinner for that as well. Heck I thin all ,y paints with Lacquer thinner

I chopped one of these a few years ago got it to this stage and the paint started to peel off used black from the Kustom colors from house of color then i shot it with the clear they suplled and it made the paint peel off. I have it stripped and have to redo the rear fender wells as I wanted stock looking ones. Here is is in paint before the clear.
