Very nice job! I hope I can get mine painted yellow before Ron takes delivery of his... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Which color is that anyway? It seems like there will be quite a few yellow '40s on this forum.

You may want to have the primer tinted yellow next time...it really makes coverage easier with whites and yellows. We shot about 5 coats of base on the last wimbledon white car and there was still a few spots where you could see the grey primer. The R-M paint rep also recommended using less reducer with the light colors...especially white.
