Nothing wrong with revisiting old threads.

John asked for pics in his original post; in the intervening years I have taken quite a few pics of my builds....here are a few painted with Car Colors (decanted except the Galaxy)

These look great! I actually built a 64 Galaxie in the same color about 30 years ago. Only difference was mine had a white roof, and a black interior. I  cut the front seats out and spent a long tedious time adding very thinly trimmed Bare Metal foil to the seats for piping. Got in a fix about 15 years ago and sold it on ebay. Love the Revell Lancer, the 57 looks stellar, and the Nova is just plain bitchin.

I remember buying a quantity of these paints at a store (may have been a Wal-Mart) in Ormond Beach, Florida back in the early 1990s. I brought them home with me in my carry-on luggage, which would probably land you in prison nowadays! I have one hood left painted in those colours, wish I still had a few of them in the rack.

Yes, I acquired mine under similar conditions; Car Colors were never marketed in Canada.  

Fortunately I still have a few cans.

 I remember when this line of paints came out, and was lucky that my local shop stocked them.

You've managed to pop a capsule full of wonderful memories with that photo ! 

I haven't seen that artwork in decades ! 

Thanks much !
