i was very tempted to do it silver because iv still got silver paint left from my old nova, the original plan was to paint it white & i bought the white paint, then i really wanted it sunburst red so i thought i'd use the white as a base coat after the primer & think it looks very good in white so it'll stay white i think, looks like im gona save & buy a 3rd 1/18 mk3 to paint red!
