PAINT (Scheme based on the French Racing - Monte Carlo Radio - http://www.transamcuda.com/gallery/index.php?cat=7)
- #28117 Model Masters Sublime Green
- RC251 Pactra Sprint White
- RC250 Pactra Outlaw Black (scoop/grill/rear)
- Rustoleum Painters Touch - Matte Clear (dull finish on outside of scoop/grill/rear)

Decals
- Spare decals from an HPI 'Cuda (Plymouth & tail lights)
- Great Planes chrome striping tape (window trim)

Notes
- This is a 2-piece body so you have to attach the rear.
- This body is made from thin lexan. As pictured (with masking tape holding in the rear) it only weighs 118 grams. I would recommend reinforcing the front for racing.
- This body is a bit over-sized compared to most VTA bodies. Front/rear width at the wheel wells is 215mm. Height of the body is 120mm (HPI Camaro is 100mm).

Nice looks good . I did one simmilar to that a while back but red and white.
I like the link too gives me more ideas for paint jobs on the cuda.
