      nice one. i would have used black and bronze personally. have you seen h o railway aluminuim piping before? it makes exelent exhaust pipes.

      too neat for a first timer, c’mon you must ave done some painting before!.

      nice number decals!!!

      nice attention to detail, especially the two colour wheels…

      great detail, the car looks great. rims are a good extra touch.

      Man, my first paint job didn’t even come close to looking that nice:sad:. I like the side mirrors, what did you use?

      Thanx for the Compliment…..
      Nope! Never! My very first attempt! I guess I’m a perfectionist by nature so I studied a lot of pic in the various forum galleries. This was fancied after a car I saw in a gallery that impressed me so much…

      Check the gallery! The “Guam” car! that’s sweet.
      I thought about the black & copper but this being my first try, I thought I’d keep it as simple as possible, just a partial paint job but put all the colors in the right places. I’m doing a bB now, just putting the finishing touches on then I’ll clear coat it and I’ll post that one soon, see how you like that one.

      ahh so it was a partial paint job, you left the original white.

      are you using enamel or acrylic on the BB? no need to coat the enamel. i love my Bb’s can’t wait!!!

      True, but when you detail (lights, mirrors, exhaust, decals) it’s good to clear coat it to keep all that time consuming delicate detail stuff from wearing off. Know what I mean ?

      Silver Paint. The one’s on my current project (bB) came out better.
      My hand was a bit more steady….

      I’ll be doin some pullback wheels on future mods, I like the KIT wheels better on this one. I don’t particularly like black wheels unless it goes with the paint sceme I’m doing….I like the “Bling”

      Yeah the rear lights were already painted red, not my Idea. I painted orange turn signal lights on the 2 insides. I’ve got a bB that I’ll post tonight that started out as a clear body. Look for it…..

      I used standard Testors spray paint and of course taped & cut parts to detail. I brushed the sun shield on the windshield.
