1969 charger

[michelle]

i decided to mimic the old mpc customizing parts givin with the 68-70 charger kits with this 69 500 parts car i had it was missing the back window ,the hood, the front grille, the taillights  and was missing the stering wheel and shifter,  the  original wheels and tires ,the wheel backs and engine,and engine bay parts so i figured i would do a custom  with it i used parts from my other parts cars and parts i got  in boxes with rebuilders  
the paint is a metallic gold base coat with a  top coat of  orange color coat to give it this metallic  burnt orange color

Very nice color! Is the orange color coat a translucent paint or was it a light single coat of solid color over the gold?

thank you the orginal  mpc 68-70 charger customizing kits came with side window filler pieces and louvers for the normal recessed rear window  along with a split  rear bumper and  one peice tail light and a custom grille and custom hood  the only reason i know they did was due to the pics of the box art and the online repository of scans of the original instruction sheets so i did my best to replicate the look  they would give the model

I saw that paint on my last visit to O'Reilly's but I never thought of using it as a clear color coat! (kind of like a candy paint?) It looks fantastic!

Nice Charger. I really like the paint and all of the custom parts you added. That's the beauty of model building, being able to mix and match parts to build what we want.
