Thanks everyone! I really appreciate the kind words!

Without a doubt your paintwork is the best I have ever seen. :)

Thanks Harry! Knowing that you have seen so many others over the years, that really means alot.

B) Stunning!!! The finishes on these are deep enough to have Hoffa's body buried in there somewhere, I really like the "Burple/Black" '56. Edited by horsepower

I know you've received a lot of praise already, but I can't go without posting.

Absolutely beautiful work. Really a loss for words on anything more to say.

The paint work is miles deep. It's amazing what a few tasteful details and a sweet paint job can do. Please share the name of the rubbing compounds you used? Also you mentioned red and purple metalizer clears. Can you elaborate on the brand of these paints? I'm also curious about the type of clear coat you used. My hat is off to you for these beautiful builds.

Thanks again everyone. The compounds I use in order are 3M rubbing compound, Meguires scratch and swirl remover, and Tamiya "finish" compound. The Metalizers are made by Duplicolor, and come in red, green, blue, orange, yellow, and purple. You should be able to find them at any auto parts store. The clear is also Duplicolor touch-up sprays. If you are going to use these paints, I highly suggest testing them on a spare body. I hade some issues with the Metalizer burning through the color base, and the clear making the Metalizer "crinkle". I think the best solution is to give plenty of drying time between each.
