Thank you Will! Nice to see you still monitoring this thread. Appreciate your support brother!!!
Hello Jason! Yes sir. I have MG in my paint arsenal and I have a set of CCW classic replicas on hand too boot. I built a MG Vert last year and put CCW classic replicas on it. I'll look for the picture and post them up for you.
If your interested shoot me a PM and I'll provide you the details and pricing.

OKay Jason, found the pictures. First 2 are mine. 3rd is from the owner once he received the car. His post numbers are #339 and #340 in this thread on the computer. Not sure what the post numbers are in the App.

This picture caught it better
That's awesome! I always have a hard time capturing the green on film. Has to be at a certain angle and have certain lighting to capture it correctly. Looks great!
Okay Everyone,
Been knee deep in projects LOL. I'm working on 2 Cobra's right (Vert for SVTP member, coupe for me). However, I have expanded my horizons. Someone asked me to try a Lightning. So, I'm working on that project slowly. Also, I have always liked Hotwheels and I seen a couple videos of guys modifying them. So, I'm trying my hand at that as well.
Here is the Vert I'm working on:
Base Coat MC
Clear Coat......

Okay All,
Here are the pictures of the hotwheels I made. They still need to be clear coated. I took them apart and stripped the original paint. I then painted them black and added the silver with color fade. I then added the checker graphic and then did the detail painting. I also changed the wheels on both cars (I like the wheels on the red one better. Got a lot of them coming in from Malaysia).
For those who know me this paint scheme should look familiar...........

I cannot believe what Hot Wheels is trying to sell.
They have a car out labeled "03 Ford Mustang Cobra." Even the blister pack has a picture of the Terminator on it. However, the car in the package looks NOTHING like an 03 Cobra. As a matter of fact, it looks more like the race car version of the Mustang that was produced back in 1998.
So, if you collect diecast be warned that the car labeled an 03 Cobra is NOT a Terminator..............

Okay all,
Here we go again LOL.
I found a guy listing a MC on eBay.
https://ebay.us/UQ7JbK
Overall it is NOT bad. His paint job looks decent and he is NOT asking an astronomical amount (Started his bidding at $21). However, the car is missing the Cobra Fender emblems. I cannot see the rear very well, but I'm assuming if the fender emblems are missing then so are the SVT and Ford emblems. The chin spoiler and the rear valance are not painted flat black AND the interior is not painted.
This is his description:
UP FOR AUCTION is a super rare 1:18 scale 2004 Ford Mystichrome SVT Cobra Mustang diecast model, This model was carefully disassembled down to the shell and repainted in the real Ford Mystichrome paint from Ford and then carefully reassembled back together, this paint is very rare and expensive to purchase through Ford and can only be ordered directly through Ford with an authentic vin number from a real Ford Mystichrome SVT Cobra Mustang, This Model is only 1 of 2 ever made by me and comes in the original Maisto box that the model was purchased new in, the plastic shipping straps were removed to protect the paint and the original box does have a small crack in the plastic window on top and shows some minor shelf wear from age....PLEASE LOOK AT PHOTO'S
Well, we know that highlighted statement is false LMAO!!! I get it, it's a sales tactic, but I just don't like when people say things in the car world and don't really know what the hell they are talking about. Hopefully, someone will be happy with their purchase. However, I'm finishing up a MC coupe right now and will be listing it on eBay in a few weeks. Whoever buys this one might be disappointed once they see mine. Or maybe not once they see my asking price LOL. The one thing he did get right is how expensive MC paint is.

Okay everyone,
Instead of showing the same type of pictures over and over again I wanted to do something a little different.
I got the MC Vert in clear coat as you know. So, I wanted to show my polishing process.
This is before I started. If you look at the reflection of the light off the trunk it looks a little wavy. That's the orange peel.
This is after knocking the orange peel out of the trunk using the wet sanding process with 2000 and 3000 grit.
This is after stage 1 polishing. Still has sanding marks.
This after stage 2 polishing. You can see it still looks a little hazy.
This is after stage 3 (final polish). You can see it looks crystal clear and the reflection of the light looks like a mirror finish.
Here is the hood after the final polish. Again the reflection of the light looks like a mirror finish.
Just in case anyone is wondering what I use. I use the 3M three step polishing process.
I also got the interior painted.

Oh and I got my Hot Wheels project car finished up. Got it clear coated and put it back in the blister pack.
I'm real happy with how this turned out. One of my favorite Hot Wheels now............

I built another checkered car and a MC Hot Wheel. (Note: Building these little cars is fun. Takes less time and they come out looking pretty cool too boot).
MC car complete with CCW classic replicas LOL.

Okay Everyone,
Got the MC Vert finished up. Think this one came out pretty nice. Minus the styling bar this was a pretty basic build.
