Using up some left over paint. My apologies to Ron Coon, this build doesn't do his product right. His body is excellent. Maybe the colors just dont' do it!

Looks good to me! Several guys took a break from white and blue and red and black and went with some browns and tans in the Midwest. The cars actually stood out from the others when it wasn't one of those very few same old tried and true colors!

Tks David. I guess I'm so used to the fancy colors, this just doesn't cut it, lol.

Rett, we've known each other, and loved each others' models a  long time. 

Soooooooooooooo.  If you are unhappy with it, and thinking about painting it other colors, I'd say go for it.    :) :) :)

The model itself is great. 

I've got a Chevelle that's in the pond right now for a third paint job.   :) :) :)

Looks pretty real to me, Rett.
I like the "different" color too.

Should be easier to clean up after a race as well. HA !

Looks like a pretty nice build to me and Rett that is a nice change from the normal racing colors that are usually seen.
