The Pentathlon

 Candy Colour
Doorprize at a Series Race

Notes about this item.

A protoform Alfa 2.0

Lettered as a door prize/souvenir for the first race in the
Western Canadian Indoor Championship Series 2003-2004,
or "Pentathlon" for short, since five cities participated.
For some reason I'm missing shots of the sides and rear of the shell.


Colours Used.
Opaque Black
Opaque White
Alclad II Chrome
12 coats Candy Red
Coarse Aluminum Basecoat

I painted all the detail first, then started in on the Candy colour. The candy soaked right through everything else, in particular turning everything that was meant to be white into a pale pink - even that which had been backed in black first, like the headlights.
Lesson learned - always paint the candy colour first.
