We had a hot day here yesterday got some paint on the Pete' cab, but just looking at the photos here looks like the Sky blue is darker, huh might have to go get another bottle, as this morning there is a few little areas were the paint is thin in places.

This one has been given me trouble with dust landing on the wet paint so today I got the dust sanded off and repainted.
Hope to have it clear coated soon and paint a few more things then start putting it together.

I will be going with the small bottle of Tamiya clear and airbrushing it on.
Don't know when I get it done weather has changed again overcast and damp feels like rain coming too.
I like Blue and Green.
