The colour really gets some depth to it when the gloss is added.

The XJ220's curves do a great job of showing off the colour shift.

Thanks everyone. Christian, it is definitely a revelation when you put the clear coat onto the colour shift paint. This one has the same colour shift as the Nissan Skyline in my albums, but that one was on a gloss black base. It's good fun experimenting with different base colours to see how the effect shows up.

This is one of my favourite cars. I've had this kit in my closet for about 24 years.
