yea true bear, i was fortunate second time round, i got all the paint on, clear coated with really fine long distance mist a few coats and then a closer few and finally a heavy coat over the black and greens... worked no drama. decals tonight... I somehow missized a couple so I have to redo them, couple more to go and will clear coat them on, then rebuild.
in progress

with a few more done, including the green on the caltex logos... printed them to match the bonnet colour... if it's not right, at least it's not obvious when looked at.

That Caltex green looks like a pretty close match in todays pics I reckon.

bowdown lots of work goes into these V8 builds and its always cool to see the process of layers done to achieve the livery.
