    The colour reminds me of the Mazda Evolve Copper red, Looks the part.I'm amazed by the sheer amount of plastic in the engine bay though.

    The good thing about all the plastic in the engine is that it is a breeze to clean!

    great work, the car looks very nice. I have to ask, what's the black vintage car that I can see the wheel of in the one photo?

    So far so good, full durability is still to be tested. But, it has a very nice look to it and is very, very slick. It is my go to sealant now, so easy to apply and such great results.

    Thanks,
    1930 Ford Model A Coupe...

    Wow that looks great :D I notice in the second shot, the paint sort of has an orange hue, that's pretty cool. The car just looks flawless!
