For the body I used automotive paint color: "GunMetal". I want the car to have same color as mafia thugs would have. So dark silver and black was highly considered, but when i came to the paint shop they have this color that looks greyish with green tint called Gunmetal and i thought this would be the perfect paint for my model! Black window & headlight is commonly used for automotive models so i just followed it. It does give nice contrast with the color of the body too. I used metallic red for tail light to lift up and makes the car looks more realistic from the back.
Masking the body to paint all windows & headlight was a long process as i had to use a lot of small tape cuts and newspaper cut to the shape. But it gives really good result and very neat paint job, no overspray at all. Same technique goes for painting tail light.
