not 100% happy with the stickers
(some are too small an the wrong colour but will be getting them changed before the next show)
and the paint needs a good buffing up to finish it off,,,

Far better colour choice, but still a bit too light. Don't think you'll get it any closer.

Did you paint it to 53C?
The rally cars were NOT 53C though.

yeah its alot closer the the rally cars and im not going to try getting it any closer (well not for another year anyway )
i painted it with 53C but used 10% thinners to each 1L of paint which is why its not as dark as the ltd edt 555's but then i didnt want it to be the same as them because of the rally cars not being that paint code

the only way im going to get it any closer is going to prodrive and pinching colin mcraes fuel filler cap to take to my local paint shop
