try it and see. if it works then go for it. the primer should cover it cause its a thick paint base! -

i have tried painting over the stock paint and the darker color come through brighter colors. and the paint won't stick to the factory glossy paint, it will bubble, wrinkle, or peel. try it you might have different resaults than me. i used dulpi-color primer over stock paint and thats as far as i got. -

its a 1994 geo metro with a swift gt conversion, and those are american mk3 swift gt bumpers. the side skirts don't fit, and the sunroof came out of a civic. geo metros don't come with sunroofs. i hate the automatic it sucks. but i hit redline and past everyday. i got it to go 35 mph in first and that at 7250rpm well past the redline of 6500. then a honda insight rear ended me and my whole car shrunk about a foot! that was a year ago. i am looking for another geo metro but a 3 door not a 5 door and a maual not an auto. the 5 door is harder to find, and to get in the rear door is narrow and very tight, and the back seat is small!

chrome die-cast looks like the real 1/1 chrome cars as far as color(none), shine, brillant mirror finish, everything. and using bare-metal foil to cover the whole car(1/43 that is) is going to me a pain in the butt. plus time consuming. and yes i know that the insight has aluminum panels. one hit me in my geo about a year ago. -
i have one of those pullback 'n' go cars. its a geo metro! its got only 55 hp and 50 lbft. from a 3 cylinder suzuki engine and it goes 0-60 in 3 years with the slow auto tranny it has in it. before body work! after body work!
