That is a beautiful color! Great shine too. Hit it with some buffing/polishing compounds and it will BLIND people with it's shine! haha. If it were me, I'd do a pearl black top to match the interior, but that's just me. I am not very fond of the idea of body color wheels, but that's your call.

The interior looks great! specifically the trunk. The heavy fuzz seems just a bit over done, like it's a bit out of scale, but I understand how difficult it is to scale match textures, so I'll just say it looks great, which it really does.

Honestly, you are a hard nut to crack. Some of your builds look like a beginning modeler and others, like this one, look like a seasoned veteran looking to win a national contest. None the less, you have a terrific sense of style and all of what I've seen, your models are fantastic.

^thanks for the input..... im not a pro modeler at all, sometimes i can put alot of effort into a kit , and sometimes i just slack..... if any of my builds look pro modeler like then thats a plus, if they look "beginneer" then thats what they look like...... im 24 years old, and still learning to get my self up there with the best......... im not saying anything bad of your words, they actually help me out to become better . thanks >>>>

^thanks man................ here another update :


-----------------------------------------------------------------------


** Wellllllllllllll............. i had a crazy thought, and i went for it.......... bought today was dupli color shadow kit... its a spray you put over chrome or very polished surfaces to give it the "BLACK CHROME " look.... he he he he .......so with out further adue' :










---- painted black chrome was :
-front bumper/grill
-tranny
-valve covers
-oil pan
-rear bumper
-hood trim
>>>>>>>> It was very easy to use..... I just washed the pieces with only warm water ; dried the parts ; then taped them to the box and gave every piece one coat of the paint ; waited 20 minutes then one coat of the clear on each parts ...let dry for 2 hours ...and DONE...... I like it.........................lets see what you guys think............

Very cool! I'm going to have to try some of this stuff. I bet it would work great for tinting "glass" parts and tail lights and the likes.

[Drift F.C]

That chrome looks great, this build is really coming along nicely, and your photography skills have got much better!

Can't wait to see this one finished

[quadzero]

Nice work you are doing on this, especially the interior. That Chrome Blackout actually makes the chrome parts even more realistic and shiney judging by your pics. I should try that stuff out myself. How does it look in real life? Keep up the great progress.

^the black chrome looks very great in person, it sits very well in deep spots, and its super easy to use , still keeps its chrome reflection ..... i sprayed the hubcaps the kit came with ill post the picture up later, left one chrome and sprayed the other 3 caps so you can see the difference......
