Here is my latest creation. The 1967 Pontiac GTO made by MPC. I did this one as a street racer with the blown engine and the hood scoop. Otherwise I kept it mainly stock. The pictures really show the imperfections in the paint. Still trying to figure out a better method to spray. All builders I follow on YouTube use standard spray paint as I do.

Great work John. Much better than I'd ever be able to do. Give yourself a pat on the back.

John, your paint job closely resembles paint jobs on the 1/1s back in the day. Very realistic.

It looks great ! I had heard that setting the spray can or the paint bottle in warm water for a time helps insure a more even and powerful paint spray.
