I originally built this about 10 years ago. I was never happy with the finished product, so I decided to tear it apart and start over.
It was originally red, but I had major fitting issues, and the front bumper never fit right. It also sat as high as a 4 X 4 truck. I'll bet I grinded, sawed, or sanded a few ounces off of the total weight trying to get it to fit on the chassis correctly. I still think it sits a bit high, but I couldn't help it anymore and was getting so frustrated by it, I was going to put it up for awhile. I couldn't get the headlights to fit back in, either, so I just tinted the covers and used them. I hate not finishing anything, so that wasn't an option.
The paint is Krylon true blue with a clear pearl with tiny metal flakes in it, but you really can't see that in the photos. I had to make my own stripes for it as well. I just used white decal paper with the same pearl clear sprayed over that, then they were cut out. As you can see, I had help taking pictures this morning. 
It's an interweb thing.....
