buy some of those colors and paint some old tree's see what you think of it out of the can

ok, but i have to find those colors, i already had the light blue metallic on hand. now the hunt continues, lol. i am going to have to make a trip to the local auto parts store for the paint, its the only place i know locally that sells metallic paint, i am going to check to see what they have.

Brandon, do you have a airbrush? Jameston at Scalefinishes could get you the paint to run through a airbrush. Easy to apply and would be perfect for the color you want.

Thank you mate! i greatly appreciate it. and i am not trying to sound rude, but i haven't done anything chrome yet. those parts i painted "chrome silver", so its kinda close, but its still not chrome. LOL!

next is going to be some detailing, and glueing!

OH...... and i am so happy today!!!!!! for once, this year, its nice and cool outside!!!!!! it has been in the 90's for the past 10days. but today, its in the 70's!!!!!! i am loving it!!!!!! i am happier than a tornado in a trailer park! LOL!
