Mine is the last post. Blue over silver with rust on the inside.

I have been experimenting with "plasidip" type paints. so for so good. no masking required. paint it and cut around the bits you don't wont....peel it off.

It adheres surprisingly well.

I sprayed the inside of my Power wagon body silver lexan. I sprayed the out side with red lexan paint for an old dull red finish. Now when the red color gets scraped off and the silver shows thru it looks like it was scraped to the bare metal.
Side note when wanting a dull finish and its cold outside. Do not use the hair dryer to speed up the drying process. Doing this will lighten up the color and give you a shiny finish.
