think i will change my user name to the candy man..... ???
i tell you.... this paint smells like you could drink it :D

Sam does look a bit green I must say? Hard to tell really from the photos, need to see it in the flesh. Maybe silver base coat could make it more yellow? Who knows lol.

i was only thinking the other night a proper yellow trickstar would look the balls.
that deffo looks green though.
nowt like the colour on the tin is it :-\
-
It's still sort of rad though...that colour green reminds me of a couple of the Matchbox cars that were around in the late 70's.
Weirdly cool. You may as well sticker it up and run it for a few months just for a laugh :coolsmiley:

:2funny: really made me laugh this, one of my fave films Matt :LolLolLolLol:
I must say, its growing on me also. I'm thinking Black and Chrome Parts.
Only thing to point out is (don't kick my arse for this) is that the colour may look too close to the re issue Tuff Burner :-\
