Thanks, and I agree that this type of color has always looked very good on these G-Bodies. The factory color looks like a bit of a mixture of Gold and Copper, so it's a bit darker than mine. The paint I'm using are just the regular Maston Sprays that are available at the local hardware store. The Primer and paint itself should work with each other (They pretty much always do), but they have always worked well with different plastics and resins too. Don't know what caused the problem now, I guess it's just my typical (bad) luck... These are the paints that I usually use, these Maston paints are (usually) really good stuff, except their gloss white... So with white cars I use Tamiya.

Well I'm happy to say that I got the paint job fixed. After it was completely dry, I sanded it with 1,000 grit hoping that I won't go through the paint as then I would have to start all over again. Luckily that didn't happen so when the paint job looked smoother, I went back to the garage and sprayed another light coat of gold on the body. This time the result looks much better, so now I'll let it dry and then I'll shoot some clear on it...

Now I decided that the body had dried enough so that I could clear coat it. I sprayed two light coats, one kind of "almost-wet-coat" and then one wet coat of clear on it. I'm not sure if that's enough to be polished, but I need to try as I can't spray any more clear on the body or otherwise some of the smaller details and chrome trim will be hidden under the paint... And of course as I finished shooting the clear, a couple pieces of dust landed to the hood and roof... Luckily polishing should take care of them.

Looks good. The clear really pulled the tone of the color out.
