Question about 1998 Jeff Gordon Monte Carlo

[JerseeJerry55]

I have the Revell 1998 Jeff Gordon Monte Carlo (the one in the tin) and have a couple of questions. What color/brands of paint do I use? Also what do I use to replicate the black bars on the windshiekd, and back window?

What types or paint do you want to use?  Airbrush?  Spray Cans?  For Airbrush, check out MCW Finishes.  They should have color matches for this car.

For the black bars, I use a Sharpie (Professional I think) marker on the inside of the windshield.  I typically tape off the inside of the windshield and dab the marker until it is to my liking.

Thank you for the reply. Rattle cans are what I normally use. I've heard Tamiya TS 50 Mica Blue and TS 36 Fluorescent Red are a match(?)

Those are probably as close as you are going to get in "major brand" spray can paint.

As for the black window support bars, I too tape off the windshield and back glass, but instead of a sharpie I spray semi-gloss black paint.  Same idea.
