Nice model and a great finish! Perfect color choice...I've seen a bottle of that color this weekend, it's great. I just painted my V35 in a similar color that I had to mix (Tangerine pearl w/Gamma gold). You can see the pic of the car in my signature. I'm currently working on the Nismo version, and a two-tone Track Z in the same color.

If you airbrush the HOK paint (if it's from Black Gold), you can use Gunze Mr. Color thinner to thin the paint, it makes it flow like enamel w/o the tendency to craze the plastic that the paint and a lacquer thinner will give you if you're not careful. It's the best thinner I've found for spraying HOK/Black Gold paints. I could never get their clear to spray w/o etching the plastic underneath. It would either etch when shot wet (all mold lines would reappear), or blush when shot w/a faster drying thinner. This thinner was gone for years, but you can get it at Best1Hobbies.com and other online sources.
