I like it! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)
Always liked bright colors and think that metallics have extra depth and sparkle that is just lacking in the solid paints... These little german roadsuckers are made to be painted bright colors.... Now we have a new flavor..... er... I mean color for the "jelleybeans".... Can't wait to see it with all the parts.... Ken |
