I used this with pretty good results.
Grabber Orange for the body and Hemi Orange for the stripes.

Here's the one I did with the Testors paint.

That looks more like the comp stripes than the body color. Some others around here have
done comp orange. Maybe they'll weigh in with what they used.

when would be a good time to spray the stripes on in the whole finishing process you think?
