Re: The importance of color

Colors like red or black are sure-fire winners. But,I'm more of a "show people how a good a least expected color can look" kind of guy. That,or I pick a color by what vehicle it goes on and what era and'or style I'm after. Like that Topolino in gold with the wide whitewall slicks. That screams late '50s-early '60s. Or,that Transparent Blue Ford pickup with white naugahyde,chrome reverse,etc. The '40 panel has a late-60s look with what you did. There's always a place for black and red blended in,too. That Lindy Black Widow kit just had to be black
