Very nice build. You did some fine work on this paint job (flat roof with decals) and the overall brightness is outstanding !!
Very 8) 8)
Actually I believe the real car just had a flat roof, mine was not intended to be vinyl, however as I painted the other colors, I never covered the top so it had a few layers of "over spray" which gave it a little texture, but the actual paint is Testors flat black from a spray can. This may sound crazy and I can't "prove" this technique, but when I want a smoother finish from a black or red spray can I use the nozzle from a silver spray can.....it seems to flow different. The other colors were Testors enamel put on with an air brush including the clear. Nothing special on the roof number, Power Slide decals worked great.
Thanks for the comments

WOW that's one sweet lookin build!!
Outstanding paint and decal work on this build. :)
Beautiful Charger, Mark, and you really captured the feel of the real car!!! I was reading through the Cotton Owens Garage website last night and when I saw the pics of this car I thought to myself...now I know how Mark nailed this build to a tee!!! Fantastic build, Mark!!!😎👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎
Wow, Mark. That's one of the best Charger Daytona's I have ever seen done. Excellent cleanliness of build, paint, and decals.
Great job on this Daytona Mark. That paint really POPS!
Thanks for all the kind words...........every time I do one of these 70's builds I learn and try to add to the next one, including lots of info from the forum on many subjects.
Thanks Guys
