The kit...

The engine...

I mixed Metallic Blue with a little Chrome Silver for the engine block. the carberator I mixed Titanium Gold with Titanium Silver. Sadly it's hidden beneath the air cleaner.. Air cleaner is Satin Black with Semi gloss black lid. Me likey…

The Chassis....

Overall color is Rustoleum Black Walnut in rattle can. My go-to paint for all my auto chassis color.

Next is the interior. Pics forthcoming soon....

Thank you, Carlos. Once the interior is done, it's on pause until Hobby Lobby reopens so I can get the Hugger Orange I need for this beast.

looking quite racy!

Here's a good question for Joe or anyone who would advise me.

I want to replicate the rims like these but I'm having a hard time trying to eyeball the muted silver. What shade of grey would you go for?Thoughts?

Off the top of my head I’d say look at the Model Master Metalizer paints. I know that they were just discontinued, but old stock should still be available. Perhaps the non buffable aluminum for the lighter color and magnesium or anodonic gray for the darker shade.

Thanks, Carlos. I knew it had to be a muted metal color. At first I thought it looked light grey but thought... naaaaah... it can’t be.

A Goat! Nice. Take a look at MM dark anodic gray. Its airbrush thin but brushes surprisingly well.
Thanks,
John
