this is what my trickstar turned out like after applying this colour paint....

its as yellow as fook, and couldnt wait to use it....

then.....

arghhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

what tha' fook!!!!!

cannot believe it came from the same pot.....

now i dont know about you, but i have a good idea of the colour name when i see the colour, but something tells me thats not yellow, it looks to me i lickle bit like lime green to me, maybe i shouldnt have used silver as a ground coat, as per' every other candy laquar....

what do you think?

Sam does look a bit green I must say? Hard to tell really from the photos, need to see it in the flesh. Maybe silver base coat could make it more yellow? Who knows lol.

It's still sort of rad though...that colour green reminds me of a couple of the Matchbox cars that were around in the late 70's.

Weirdly cool. You may as well sticker it up and run it for a few months just for a laugh

really made me laugh this, one of my fave films Matt

I must say, its growing on me also. I'm thinking Black and Chrome Parts.

Only thing to point out is (don't kick my arse for this) is that the colour may look too close to the re issue Tuff Burner $:-\$
