It's a Green Christmas...

A Team Kool Green Christmas

Last may I got to visit the Vintage Indy Registry shops and they had just restored Dario Franchitti's 2002 7-Eleven Indy 500 car. I was asking owner Mike Lashmet about the color green and to my surprise he informed me it is fluorescent green! ... even though it doesn't look it to the eye. Now I knew that traditional Flo-green like Mr. Color would be too bright. But a few months ago when I was in Michael's I saw this paint - Ironlak Fluorescent green and decided to try it. It is a perfect match for Kool green. So I decided to redo my Kool cars in the proper color. 


















Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone.

It photographs nicely but curious to know if it is glossy and if you have tried any clears over it.

Yes it's glossy, no I didn't clear it. Acrylic at least should be safe.

Michael, did you spray it right from the can or did you de-can it and use your air brush?

[indycals]

I de-canted. It does gum up quicker than other paints so don't let it sit out long.
