Custom models. Show em.

the wagon project still needs a whole bunch of body work because when i paint models....i like to use real car paint....that way a cut and buffed finish can be accomplished with shine like no other.

this is a 70 roadrunner kit i did some time ago....i made it into a sport satellite since i have a real 70 sport satellite in EF8 green.

It was this project that taught me a lesson about the tints in greens when using the PPG Omni AU system. Greens in omni lack brilliance.......i used EF8 green mixed in omni on a 69 GTX kit and it came out kinda drab.......the 70 satellite above was EF8 green in the more costly PPG DBU system and WOW what a difference in brilliance and tone.

So now if i am ever going to paint a real car in any shade of green......i know now that spending more money on a better system is money well spent for a correct shade and very nice presentation.

yes, i am a nerd ....i spend too much time in the garage with this stuff ......dont even get me started with slot cars. :D
