Kool Little Coffin, thats one I want to build one of these days. The body in my kit looks hopelessly twisted but it might come back when the roof and doors are attached.
Today I saw the koolest car. Well the car itself wasn't all that kool, it was a late model Honda or something, white paint, demure little thing, lowered down a little and some aftermarket wheels, nothing eye catching or spectacular about that. But as you moved around this white Honda, it gave off these bright pearl reds and blues along its highlights as they struck the sun from different angles. I couldn't believe how bright it was, kind of subtle but once you noticed it, it really stood out. And from a basic white to pure rainbows was pretty striking. I don't know what kind of paint that was, it wasn't the typical flip flop paint at all, way too subtle and besides never seen that kind of effect from a white base other than heavily dosed with pearl. Could not see pearl particles in the paint though, so...I was kind of baffled.
Wish I got a photo of it but I don't think the effect would be evident. If I see it again I will try a photo. It is parked at the market I go to and I think I have seen it before but never really looked at it close.

Sounds kool. I've seen that effect before and I think it's done with very fine pearl powders added to subsequent layers of clear. With pearls like that a little goes a long way.

Coming home with the groceries and turns out its Austin Healey day at my neighbor's place. Got a ton of individual photos and will post them in a separate thread in the 1:1 section later. By the way, those are two separate yellow Frogeye Sprites there, how many of them have you seen in the past ten years? jb

Keepin Ron's thread going, came out of the grocery store today to see this. Don't know what's under the hood or anything else, just grabbed my camera and took some shots. Someone is obviously very proud of their ride. Its super nice looking and probably just as nice under the covers. jb
