Thanks Mathias, it is most unusual to see it without the Tampo print

My off white #27 Merc 230 SL.

Very nice Benz, Alex. The paint looks like you have polished it, did you?
BTW does anybody polish his cars, especially the metallic ones? And which polish do they use?

Here are the three major yellow shades on the 27B Lambo: The common mustard, harder to find light yellow and rare lemon color. Also included is a Brazil issue in an even lighter yellow.

Thanks David,

That's a great colour comparison shot and i love that Brazilian issue, very nice mate.

I use household 'Pledge' polish for the dusty and mildly dirty models, plain and metallic finishes, 'Armour-All' car polish is good on plastics like the wheels. If you have models with scuffed paint finish, you could use some 'T-Cut' car polish but use it very gently or you will have a very high-gloss finish when the model may in fact originally had a semi-gloss finish, and you won't be able to reverse the process!

T-Cut Ghosty, I wouldn't even think about it.....way too risky!!

Yeah! go on Motorman, live a little dangerously once in a while, go find a model that's a little dull and get that polish out, let yer hair down and be surprised by the results!
