I've seen these recently in one of the Briitish Classic Magazines.
Here's another suggestion. If the car is currently a light color,
take some black and white photographs of the car. Have a batch of
matte finish prints made in a reasonable size (5x7 or 8x10). You can
then use colored pencils to test designs, colors, etc. You can use
actual paint samples ifyou are careful.
My parents owned a portrait studio when I was growing up. They used
to specialize in oil coloring black and white photographs. To make
this work, add your paint to an artists oil paint base. Then carfully
use cotton swabs to color the car. It takes some practice, but the
result is quite realistic, probably better than you can get from
painting a model.

I guess its that time of year again, when everybody wants to shed thos
projects they didn't get done over the winter. The Denver paper Today
had an ad for a '69 Midget with 'straight, rust-free body', 'clean
interior', engine and transmission removed for 'performance rebuild'
for $500. That should be a 1275 as well. Fortunately, I'm deep into
Maggie right now and just spent that $500 on patch panels and interior
bits :-)
