Sorry to any fans of the grape, but I wasn't plum crazy (pun intended) as to the color I put on the "Cuda. The box art shows a photo of a very dark purple body color, and the kit call out for Revell #54 Gloss Purple. (Of course it calls for a Revell color, it's a Revell kit!)

Anyway, my LHS has the biggest collection of model paints I have ever seen (I'm lucky), including the Revell paints. So I picked up one of the tiny tins and set off to overcoat the Grape. I was only experimenting with the Gloss Grape since I had several bottles left from the Testors MM days. There is nothing wrong with the color, it just didn't seem good for the 'Cuda. It looks blue here but cameras never get it right, esp. with the available light, Plus there are lots of boogers in the paint as you can see I need polish off.
