gtx6970 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I've had this on the bench for nearly a year sitting in primer. Its one of those kits I built as a kid . And when it got re-issued a few years ago I snapped a few of them up for old times sake. With the nice weather around here this week it seemed like a good time to get it in color. Paint is the same as on my daughters 04 Neon, called Solar Yellow. In bright sunlight it has a a very small amount of a pearl look to it. And I thought it would fit the bill quite nicely. This will be a quick fall build to relieve my yuth ( lets see who gets that ) Thanks for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THarrison351 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Love this kit. Even everything that is wrong. Built is several times in my youth. And now I have a nice one to display. Can't wait to see this one finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slusher Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Never would have guessed that was a Neon color but it does look great on your Chevy.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtx6970 Posted October 7, 2016 Author Share Posted October 7, 2016 Never would have guessed that was a Neon color but it does look great on your Chevy.. Yep, on her car out in the sun its a very in your face bold yellow. And its not a real common color on the 1/1's . Unfortunately It just doesn't have quite the same effect indoors and on a model car. But I had it here so I decided to use it . (i'm looking for one of the old Neon promos to repaint for her to put on her shelf ) This is going to be a quickie all box stock to get me back in the saddle so to speak . I might try to get the interior painted today ( gonna be black and yellow ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
