I think the basics are fine. Now to the brush and detailing.
Not to forget: painting the body.

As a base color I painted the C4 black. Dann, it looks not bad. Maybe I'll make one black one day.

That's a nice deep blue! I'll have to keep this in mind, for a Peterbilt I'm doing in the future 😉

Thank you very much! The test spraying brought exactly that result, I'm aming for. Important is,that I'm using black as base color. I did the same with my Yenko Camaro. Green on black is pretty dark (1969 Chevrolet Camaro Yenko/SC 427 Coupe | Album by christian-w (1:25))

This is a great blue. I should experiment more with underlying base colours too.

@Martin ... You should! A big advantage is that you can regulate the intensity of the color by spraying thin layers. You don't need to apply as much paint to the kit as long as the paint is opaque. There the black does its job.

Did some detailing. I'm not sure about the shiny seats. I think I have to overdo them again.

Thank you very much! I'm excited how the color will work after the clear cote. It should be a bit darker.

And I thougt about the shiny seats. I'll change that back to kinda semigolss.

Album info

Another Corvette. It is a victim of a flood I bought without box and smelling instructions. So I'll take this for a "quick" built.
The color will be a dark blue metallic (nearly Admiral Blue WA 128A) with dark brown interior.
