I call it GOLD RUSH. It's painted with Paint Huffer Gold Rush and Gloss White with some Tropical Glitz Frostbite metal flake sprayed on top. The chrome trim is painted with SMS 
Hyperchrome Cold Tone airbrush paint. The Interior is painted like the body. The front bench seat is pulled from a 1955 Chevy Bel Air Sedan kit. The dashboard is from a different 1956 Chevy Bel Air kit because the original kit was missing one. The undercarriage is painted Gloss White with SMS Hyperchrome Cold Tone details. before I sprayed on the chrome I had to mask off the white using silly putty. The wheels are 3D printed and came from JaysResinWheels1948 on eBay. The tires came in two parts. The whitewall inserts and the tires which are painted with acrylic craft paint using a paint brush. The fender skirts are also 3D printed and came from 3D Scale Parts. The steering wheel I 3D printed myself and painted it with SMS Hyperchrome Cold Tone paint. The engine is box stock except for the radiator hose which is made from a piece of a hollow rubber bead cord with a wire inside so it will hold its shape. The hardest part of this build was attaching the front bumper. Other than that, it was a good kit.

Super looking 56 Chevy Alex.  Great looking color and the white wall tires really set it off.  Nice build.
