Do them both in silver cad, but you won't find a player that will do that. So go with zinc zbd clear.

Norwoord - Thanks. Aero Propeller in Broomfield, Colorado does gold and silver cad. I'll send them out there with a lot of other stuff.

Steve - Thanks for the picture.

Default Lines, lines and more lines....

Well, all the lines are off the Black Car along with just about everything else. I do have a favor to ask of a PY member though. I will need to repaint the yellow, orange and green line retainers, but I hate to buy three cans of spray paint just for three clips. I will if necessary, but I hope that maybe I can bead blast these clips and send them to someone that has already bit the bullet so to speak, and has this paint on their shelf. If someone can help me out I would be very appreciative. Send me a PM or text to 304.859.7509.

Thanks,

Bob

Well, I gave up and sourced paint myself for the clips and I am very happy with how the test turned out. Now I'll pull the original clips and get them shot as they are a little different. Here's a couple of pictures which include the paint I used. I have become a big fan of the TAMIYA model paint for little things like this. They have a wide range of colors, and the paint is pretty good. Here you go.
