    Any one know of a supplier the correct color and texture paint for our 70-72 Skylarks?

    I just hose some florescent orange out of a can of marking paint into a paint can cap, then brush it on.

    You just have to be careful doing the tach needle. The weight of the paint will mess up the needle

    12lives Control the controllable, let the rest go

    I think the "model master" acrylic is discontinued but you can still get florescent orange enamel. Hobby Lobby has the best price.

    Bingo. But it can be re-balanced if you are super super careful
