1/43 AMT '67 GTO
This build is a test to see if I can replicate Hot Wheels "Spectra Flame" finish using a chrome base coat and the Kaliedo translucent colors. In this case, purple.
The hard part is making the body perfectly smooth, as any defects will be amplified by the chrome, and show through the translucent finish.
I had to re-do the finish three times until I had all spots fixed.
I also tried for the first time the Air Beast Colors Super Chrome lacquer which goes over a gloss black base, and seems to be the most durable one available and can handle being top coated.
Finished off with 9 coats of Kaliedo gloss varnish before wet sanding and polishing.

@gekoch Thankx! I was going for a Hot Wheels look, and the car in the box art painting was purple.
