Anyone ever use the Summit Racing Hot Rod Flat line of paints? I plan on using them for my '47, and I'm seriously considering the Olive Drab Brown color. I'm thinking of painting a coat of black then dark red on the top surfaces first, then sand through the brown to get the aged patina look. I wish I could have just left the original patina like it was, but the cab required cab corners and cowl panels, and the truck needed all 4 fenders too, which kind of hampered that plan.

Has anyone ever used or seen the olive drab brown in person? I can't seem to find any pictures of vehicles online with that paint. My other choice is Desert Tan. I listed links for both.

Here's a few pics...

Thanks,

No one has or has seen any of the Summit Hot Rod flat paint on anything? I guess I'll be entering unchartered territory. ohwell
