The Monster Green / Ultimate Green comes from the Ford Focus special Edition RS and is a 3 Pack paint
You first apply the Green
Then the Pearl
And then the clear coate over both and it has a slight Gold glitter in the pearl as well
What we did was Applied the Green then Masked all the areas I wanted to have the silver and then took off all the Masking paper
There after we Applied the Pearl as I wanted the Sparkle Silver to have the Pearl effect as well and I think it was a Good plan
as it brought the sliver out very good

I would love to see a chassis built for that 356a kit car. Something with an aircooled upright IMPI mill and a good suspension setup... who builds chassis?

Not really looking but learning and observing. Tubular chassis. There must be guys who do this.
