Well.. I just ordered it. Sam at 'Splash Paints' is going to mix me a custom blend of 'Electric Lemon Twist' for my 69 Coronet Super Bee project. Fingers crossed!

My goal for my current project is to have the paint finish to match a 60's/70's high impact color..(in this instance 'Top Banana'), but with a with a deep, rich metallic/pearl/ candy finish. For lack of a better example, remember the Testors MM Aluma Yellow Pearl? That color, but as a color matching basecoat under a candy yellow 2k clear. What would be the ideal method to achieve such a finish as that? I was told that a pearl over a solid, could potentially make the yellow appear much more pale if too much is applied. Your thoughts?

Awesome!! 👍 But...How much did you pay to get it here?

I actually did a double take on your reply.... The eyes can be so deceiving at times.. 🤣 Meanwhile...it looks like @64SS350 and I have similar tastes. I passed on the first one.. then was kicking myself for doing so. I didn't let the 2nd one get away..

Ok...but how much..total cost...did you pay to take it from your front porch to your hobby room?

Awesome! Thanks for taking the time to comment John! Heading there to over to order..

Copy that. I've never ordered from MCW myself either. Similarly, I've only ever ordered from Splash. So thanks for looking that up.

@Bainford @Rodent Awesome thanks guys! Quick question... On the MCW website, when I select the Go Mango, I gives me the option of adding the primer, the clear and the 'cement'... So is the 'cement' their term for the hardener?

Self explanatory. Anyone have a trusted source here in the US? Thank you kindly in advance!

After UPS misplaced the first one, (along with $395 worth of other items) and I got tired of waiting for a refund, I ordered this on 21 Aug, literally right before the Tariff hammer dropped... Finally.... My precious....

My situation is almost identical... I ordered a Chinese manufactured product on 21 Aug and it arrived today with no additional fees attached.(??) I think I snuck in under the wire as well.

@oldcarfan I'm not considering purchasing a MFH kit at the moment, but any idea of how much these additional fees are once you clear the $800 threshold? I paid $1200 for Cobra Daytona two years ago...

That's good to hear... I just bought from them earlier in the year before this mess started. Im sure they have something I need.

This is a screenshot from the shipping company Correos, which for those interested, is what Spotmodel opted to ship with until the USPS takes possession..

That right there looks flippin amazing. For me...that's the best example yet. I'm buying. Thanks!

Proceed with caution. Back in February of this year, I placed an order and one of the items I ordered is 'on demand'. I think I had to wait about month for it to be delivered to Spotmodel. In the meantime, I added many additional items to my order. The order in its entirety shipped the week of April 22nd and was due to be delivered within 10 days. I was tracking my order and one day before it was to be delivered I received an email from UPS stating that I owed UPS an additional $395 for Tariffs, and Customs fees. The amount I was getting billed was 110% more than I paid for everything.So I declined delivery and immediately requested my package be returned to Spotmodel. Conveniently, UPS has misplaced my package and although Spotmodel filed a claim and appears on the surface to be working on my behalf for a refund, I still have not received it. In regards to communication with Spotmodel, I am having to continuously email them for updates. The more this drags on, the less and less (it seems) they are interested in helping me.

I ordered several items from overseas via feebay, and although it's still early in the game, I may be hosed on one of the five orders. The one that's 'hung up' was ordered from Taiwan on the 20th. It made it to Taipei on the 22nd, and hasn't moved since. I have an order from Spotmodel, placed on the 20th, and another feebay order that I placed on the 21st originating from Australia, and both appear to be moving, albeit slowly, but thankfully still moving. But yeah..the other day I found something on feeebay that I had never seen before, that a gentlemen in the UK was selling. I paid for it as soon as I seen it, but the gentlemen immediately refunded me and refused to allow me to purchase it. I've looked for 3 days trying to find an identical item here in the US and I'm not having any luck at all.

Very, very cool! Nice job!

Outstanding!!

Nice work! Very cool!

Sounds like the beginning of the most awesome display of a soul crushing, one-sided relationship.

Nice work!
