Thanks Al! I watched the second season opener of Garage Squad and they rebuilt from the ground up a '72 442 that was gold with black stripes and I want to built a '71 W-30 442 like that one. It is sharp!!!!! I hope to paint the body tomorrow during a model "Build-A-Thon" with the guys online from the Club.

I am hoping that with subsequent coats of paint that the color doesn't become too reflective. I might have to change the color some.

Tamiya has tinted clears - orange, red, blue, likely others I can't recall right now - which you can also try.

Good idea! I may have to look into that!

This kit is coming along slowly.
