When looking for colors to paint a model, I came across this picture, Coral over Juneau Gray.  Perfect, no interior painting of the model required!  It's already in this color combo.

Here's car #1 finished in the reverse color scheme, Juneau Gray over Coral. It gives the car a new personality, don't you think?

Pete, you realize I'm in pain, right?  What incredible workmanship and a perfect paint combo.  I remember so fondly how Oldsmobile's stood out for me as a kid.  I just always liked them.

Thank you all for the encouraging comments! Number 2 will take a little longer to complete as it needs a complete interior repaint.  Sneek peek:

What a beautiful job Pete!  The reversal of colors presents much better IMO.

I can't say enough about each model you show us.  This is another stunning piece of work.
