Okay, It's late at night and halfway through that primo paintjob you squirt your last few molecules of your favorite Kandy paint.
You're a Creature of the Night and you have every intention of painting till the sun comes up.
What do you do?
Do you quit, do you throw it back in the stripper and start over with another color??
HECK NO,
Just pick up the Bat phone and dial 911-HOUSE-OF-KOLOR,
In less than a half hour you'll hear those quad exhaust rumbling out in front of your house like a '60s Road Warrior from Dominoe's Pizza.
You go out front and he opens the rear door where you see the inside of his delivery van set up like a Daiquiri stand.
All the Colors you can imagine.
He squirts you out a few ounces of your favorite Kandies and basecoats and he roars off into the night to answer the call of another Customizer.

Here's a pic of the original casting,

I removed the Tanker apparatus from the roof, and also removed the Spotlights and Headlights.
I was going for more of a Custom Van look.
Drilled the holes for the Head and Taillights.
Everything was filled with QuikSteel and sanded, primered and wet sanded.
First it was shot with a dusting of Adhesion Promoter.
Grey basecoat followed by Orion Silver.
Then an InterCoat Clear with Silver flakes to give the Orion Silver an even heavier flake look.
The bottom of the rear fenders was taped off and shot Black.
Then the upper half of the body was taped off and the lower half shot Kandy Organic Green.
Decalled, detailed with Gold foil tape, and the usual Rhinestone Headlights and Taillights.
Finally a topcoat of HOK Clear with a dose of Aztec Gold Pearl Powder.

The flash washes out the decals, that's something I'll have to get to working on.
