I painted this quite a while back but just recently put the clear coat on it. The paint is two different color changing acrylic craft paints with rustoleum 2X clear. The flames are sort of subtle unless the light hits it just right. The engine compartment is all stock out of the box, as are the tires and mags. Still have some detail painting and bare metal foil to attend to but it is almost there. The chassis is all painted with flat black rattle can and silver acrylic craft paint. Still deciding how to get the exhaust manifolds to mate up with the exhaust pipes that are molded into the chassis. This is an old AMT/ERTL kit. So far, I have only posted Chevrolets but I do have some others (Fords, Toyota Celica and even a motorcycle) that I hope to share in the future. Thanks for looking.

That's a nice, show-car-flakey green, and it's on one of my favorite big Chevies!  Do you recall exactly which craft paint you used?

These are the paints I used. The green flash is the body and the yellow flash over the green is the flames. Thanks for looking.
