Thanks This color is a very brilliant red. It looked a bit less brilliant until after it was cleared and polished. I love that about Cobra Colors paints, you can never be sure of the exact color or vibrance until after it's polished. And then it's like "WOW, that looks great!"

Or in the case of the Toyota, I said "Yuck, that's not the color I wanted." It's a nice color, just not what I really wanted on this car. In the pics it's the exact shade of teal I wanted. In person, it's more of a minty green pearl in bright light. It's much lighter than my pics show.

Nice models and progress.
paint split window Vette now!

edit:
oh, sorry, you already painted it. nice color!
edit 2:
now, I read this thread carefully.
about '63 Vette. I'm expecting you to do something about molded wipers and door knobs.
maybe your next opportunity, try to remove molded wipers and put P/E parts on it.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I was just going to foil the molded in wipers, but after taking a look at your '63 Vette, I'll rethink that. It does make a huge difference having separate wiper blades.

I think I have some Porsche 911 wiper blades handy that were extras. They will be about the correct size and shape. I'll look through my parts box tonight.

MMm that vet looks sexy...

[Vric]

they all look really great

But why didn't you covered fully the hood of the Lexus ? It look kinda weird having an half-carbon-hood

Looking Sweet!!!!

I'm really liking that IS200 with those rims and a carbon fibre roof. Something different!


... not to mention that colour is awesome!
