Thanks you guys. I've learned from the best and still have a ways to go. :wink:

Bruce: Dude.....thanks!!!! This will be a modified version of the car but I'll be retaining a lot of the original ideas for this build.

'Preciate the visit John. Hope everything is going well your way.

Found the paint that I want to use. I've been eyeballing this color anyways because I've seen a few of the newer Chargers painted this color and I have developed a liking to it.

Here we are all cleaned up and primed. Still gotta do a teeny bit of sanding but it went on really smooth:

Managed to dispense and apply the paint this morning. This stuff went on really good. I'll start the wet sanding process in a few days to smooth everything out that much more before I start with the decaling and clear coats. We'll be using the "Wet Look" clear on this one so it'll really pop.

LOL!! Thanks Lee. Not quite as far as straight out of the can. Just not enough control that way. I dispense it into a jar and shoot it through a Badger 350 air brush in very light coats at first to ensure coverage throughout and on to the more heavier coats at the end of the painting session.
