    I'm not sure how useful these are but I've done them so will put up the pictures. Of course Mr Sun decided not to put his hat on today so the effects aren't too visible under artificial light but I guess it gives a better idea of what they look like under normal display conditions.

    This one is Proscale paints candy blue over their medium silver. I also tried out Zero paints candy electric blue which gives a deeper colour but I left that at work so no pictures I'm afraid. It's very similar though, as one would expect since they both appear to be automotive basecoat thinned down to be suitable for airbrushing. As such they are very "hot" and need careful application, but the proscale less so

    Then this is my own test for the truck build. Zero paints coarse silver overcoated with a semi transparent pearl blue that I had knocking around from some Yamaha R1 panels I painted recently

    The "stripes" just let me see what it looks like with 0,1,2,3 or more top coats


    Probably a bit of self indulgence to post these but they may help.
