A number of years ago I was also having a hard time finding the right shade of Guardsman Blue for a Daytona Coupe. MCW was too light and Zero Paints had too much sparkle. I finally settled on paint from Automotive Touchup. A 2oz bottle costs about $19 plus S&H and you can spray it right from the bottle. Here's a link to the site. It's listed under 1964 Ford colors: https://www.automotivetouchup.com/?gad=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIjoSWzuasgAMVay3UAR1DPwBkEAAYASAAEgK8ffD_BwE Here's a link to some pictures of a Daytona Coupe I did using that paint (sorry for the lousy pics, but you'll get the idea): http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/76650-cobra-daytona-coupe-132-scale/#comment-968659 Hope this helps.

Nothing at all. I read the first line of this thread and, without reading any further, assumed you were reposting the answer to my motorcycle question Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks for the response on the motorcycle categories, Chad. Your explanation makes sense to me but motorcycles have been allowed in 590-592 for a few years now. The winner in 592 in 2021 was a bike, one finished second in 2019, another bike finished third in 2018, and a number of others were entered in these categories over the years but didn't place. The rules read as you've explained them, but they don't appear to applied that way in practice.

I still have a question about the rules for Motorcycles. The rules say that all civilian motorcycles must either be entered in Category 545 - Motorcycles, 534 - Scratch Built/Conversions, or 535 - Documented Replicas. Does this mean that no civilian bikes can be entered in any of the Basic Kit Build categories (590-592)?
