Thanks Joe! I hate redoing work on a new project. I don't mind a restoration, but on a new build?!!!

from what i see, that is one ugly color that it actually looks good on there and dates the car to the right period. i would not have picked that color, but it looks great. will really stand out on the shelf.

Thanks Al! I'm hoping to darken the color a little bit and then add a pearl clear over the paint for a metallic-like look.

Spent some time polishing the Monaco today with NuFinish Scratch Doctor. The results were stupendious! The paint is so shiny that you could read the Scratch Doctor label!    Hunter will return... |

Nice shine!

Thanks Ed! Part of the shine comes from the Tamiya paint.
