Silver will do it every time Gary! I have had a few that were "perfect" and when the silver base coat was applied, it was glaringly not so perfect! (ha!) This is going to really be a sharp little race car!
I hear you on that David. Silver will show everything..right down to a NATS A**.  LOL It sure makes one work a little more..don't it...

The sprint car is coming together rather well. The brass nerf bars/bumpers look great!

Thanks Miked...I had to add more putty to the front of the hood. I'll sand it today and shoot the primer. Then...If things look smooth...I'll get more silver on it and then the second color.

Thanks Pat. Got the Silver on and going to do the red real soon. Right now I'm doing the tires.

The tires do come from a kit...I think? I have two large ZIP-LOCK bags full of all kinds of tires. Some I picked up at model shows that were bagged already. I found these in the big bag. They are solid rubber and these two front tires are the only pair I have. Have to get to another show and try and find more... I know that's not much help...but that's all the info I have on those....

Here's a paint update...got the second color on this past few days. I decided to go with a darker red( Chrysler Clariet Red) instead of the Poppy Red. It still needs to be rub out and the separation stripes put on but....it's starting to get to the finish. I'm still working with the new molds for the tires. I'm trying a new RTV and there's a little learning curve. Getting there though. Here's a few pics of the paint...Thanks for looking in and commenting....

That paint really pop's. That will look great with the divider stripe, I can't wait to see the finished build.

Thanks for looking in Folks. The Red is still gassing out. I can handle it.... but it's still fairly strong smelling. I want to rub it out...add the separation stripe and #s here in the next few days.  Then get the interior finished.
