1967 Old 442

This was the reissued Lindberg kit.  Really a nice kit overall, fit was excellent on most everything. Finished in Testors Extreme Mythical Maroon with Wet look clear.  Really like how a lot of the trim was actually chrome which limited having to foil or molotow larger areas.  Engine was done with VHT engine paint - as it was the closest I could find to a bronze.

I really like how this turned out.  These cars look awesome in a number of colors, but I think they flat out rock in medium to darker reds. 

Question:  would you mind sharing the P/N for the engine paint?  I would've thought VHT paint might be too hot for styrene.  Did you do anything special to prevent any damage, or did it just go on without any issues?

Sure - its VHT SP402 Burnt Copper.   I tested it on some scrap and it didn't stick well.  So I tried it with a red oxide primer and that did the trick.  I think any decent primer would work - I was out of grey or white.  It didn't affect the final color though.
