this is the Revell streetburner 1/24 scale 70 challenger TA 2in1 kit I painted the body a base coat of rust-oleum 2x gloss coral and a top coat of eastup high performance wheel paint flash orange gold I painted the engine rust-oleum 2x gloss apple red and painted the hood ,chassis ,interior ,trunk lid spoiler rust-oleum 2x flat black primer and used various apple barrel gloss and matte acrylic craft paints to do the detail painting on the body and in the interior and in the engine bay

Very nice. I l like the color and the way you mix and blend your colors. I am curious now about the EASTUP paint. Lacquer, enamel? Does it need an underbase? I found it on Amazon and they have some very cool colors.

Ok, thanks. I wonder if that actually means acrylic as in Tamiya type acrylic, or acrylic lacquer, acrylic enamel, etc. How does it spray Michelle?

also the shade of the paint depends on the base coat color i always test 4 or 5  different base colors to see how it changes using plastic spoons before i choose which base coat color i will use

Thanks 
I do videos over photos cause I can have music playing in the background that I pick for the model and cause it takes up far less space on my hardrive plus I post the video to my YouTube  and download it and then upload it  to my instagram where it gets cropped and then download it from there to upload here as it is the only way I can upload the video and it seems to work as it is the right size

Thanks for the tips, I saw it on Amazon and it isn't that expensive and they have a wide range of colors.
