That paint job is so ridiculously late 70s early 80s... It's beautiful!

^ it's currently all white with gold wheels and Chamealian hood vents.

I'm thinking a setup like the ones posted above or a few different color variations that ill post later today.

Any suggestions? I do like the white matchbox IMSA car....

Have it done with Vinyl. Easy to remove or change later on.

Vinyl vote here too. I like it, but I'd look at other colors too. Unless you really like those. Nice job on the PS

Good idea with the vinyl!

I contacted a company and I'm in the works for getting two shades of gold and some red
