did a bit of interior painting its GM dark brown. in the duplicolor spray cans. not sure if was around in 1970 but fits the era i think.

added some BMF its easy to use, I like to wet sand everything with 2000 grit, wipe it dry as you go and just sand until its perfectly even. then just rub the polish on until you hear it squeak lol. i use scratch X as a final polish also.

wheels and tires. they came molded orange not chrome plated... so i had to use BMF to make the outer edges chrome and I painted the centers black. re-scribed all the panel lines. basic engine stuck together I went with a metallic brown for the color

Tamiya 1/20, made out of box I added weathering for a post race look. I didn't bother detailing the engine I'm more interested in the outside parts and overall look. here's a couple pics of the real car from 1990

I find no need to thin them at all. ( if you want to thin it just use cheapo lacquer thinner) I just sprayed it on bare plastic since I didn't need to do any filler work on that body. my LHS has a ton of these on sale for a $1 every time I go in a pick up a few jars lol
