Testors diecast Chevy Avalanche 2 models!

I did this one 3 years ago.

Here's one of my Testors Chevy Avalanche diecast kits. It came painted ArrestMe Red and thought I'd see how House of Kolor Tangelo Pearl would look on this. I used the red as base and scuff sanded it. I then cleared with Folk Art Clear. I discovered a couple thin spots below the mirrors and on the fenders. I scuffed those areas and masked the rest. The 3M 2" blue tape left marks and luckily Folk Art clear buffs out beautifully! The gray plastic trim on the tailgate had to be touched up and this required mixing black and gray Plaid acrylics. I ended up painting ALL this with the new shade of gray. 
All that gray plastic trim except the tailgate is seperate from the body and is it fiddly! I used 5 minute epoxy that dries clear to secure this.
