Painted Waterfall and Front Bowtie

well, i finally got most of the painting done i wanted. I got the waterfall painted, and the front bowtie. the rear one will hopefully get done within the next two days. now for the problem...i ran out of the silver paint i was using (have plenty primer and clear though), and after about half an hour on the internet trying to find somewhere to buy the same paint, i find it has been discontinued for a couple months now. so i get to try to track down a closely matching silver paint, and hopefully i'll get lucky and find a good match in a metallic paint. otherwise i will squeeze what tiny amount is left in the can just for the flake, over a couple coats of another solid silver paint. anyways, on to the pictures.









there are a couple more in the gallery too. tell me what you think!

Definitly looking good!!

And if you ever find the same or close enough paint, maybe pop out the "air bag caps" from the pillars to paint as well as the centers of the doorhandle cups. And don't forget, the "change holder" under the column pops out real easy as well.
