Have you tried the new sms paint line from Australia can get them thru Gundam USA little more expensive but man the colors they have
Their an Acrylic Lacquer thinned with Lacquer thinner very nice paints
Actually made a working light bar years ago just have to remember how I did it
I have some super tiny .0204 smds I got a bunch from overseas a couple years back talking could be headlights for ant's lol
Looking to get to building this beast eventually and already have some ideas going on in my head won't be built like the box color wise
But it's a start
Seen somewhere this morning it's an 1/8 inch from each side of the wrecker bed.
That will help as I have an ho 1/87 Peterbilt that I will try to narrow the hood on
Thanks again
Where did you make your hood cuts at if I may ask
