Looks like the bowling ball paint jobs from a few years back. Just have to be in an even smaller scale for the seats.

I would try using enamel colours just not mixed together very well painted with a brush .

Bill,

No problem! Easy Peasy!!! I have done this effect many times on 1:1. It's kind of hard to explain, you can get this effect with HOK Marbleizer. Their is a great video on youtube by Ed Hubbs he shows the process using the Marbleizer

Hope this helps!! J "RASS"

Decal?

This was my first idea,,and may work well enough for me. It doesnt have to be perfect just have the look.

Also thought about spraying them in a black base coat, then while its still wet spray them in a gold, then red . then take a brush and lightly drag it thru it while its all still wet

. Once its all done and dry I can always go back and do the solid black pleats by hand

Problem is the seats,the headliner and top of the dash in this car is all done this same way. Decals would be super easy,,but I have no idea who , where or if anything like this was done in a decal sheet.

Thanks all for the ideas

Spray everything red first, then use soot from a candle to apply the marbling effect. Let it sit for a couple of days so the carbon has a chance to penetrate and color the surface then lightly rub off the surface soot. Paint the black ribs by hand and shoot dullcote over it all. Then use fine wire for the piping

Or float red paint on water and add some black and swirl it around then dip the part in the water like making marbled paper

These are just ideas I'm throwing out, I don't know if they'll work

That's exactly what I thought when I saw that. Another method of marbelizing can be done with soot from either a dirty candle flame or acetylene soot onto a wet coat of paint then clear coated either with a candy color or just straight clear. It's an old technique that pops up every once in a while, looks great when done right.

First time I think I saw it explained was like in Model Car Science or Car Model magazine, they used a dirty sooty candle flame. I've heard it called marbelizing, Spyder Webbing or Sooting. Spyder webbing is not to be confused with cob webbing where un-reduced paint is used to make whe cobweb effect. Some of those old custom paint tricks are really cool to learn how to do yourself.
